Etymology
The word 'yuk' is believed to be of onomatopoeic origin, mimicking the sound of a mocking laugh or derisive jeer. It gained popularity in informal and colloquial speech, particularly in the mid-20th century. The transition to 'yukked' as its past tense is a natural evolution of English verbs, where the formation of past tenses often involves the addition of 'ed' to the base form. Its usage is closely tied to the culture of humor and storytelling, particularly in contexts where lighthearted teasing or banter occurs. While not widely recognized in formal writing, it has found a niche in conversational English, especially among younger speakers and in playful contexts.
