The best of Cardiff’s newly anonymous yaks
Yik yas
Katie WestonNow that Yik Yak has returned from its little holiday to the dark abyss of nothingness, we can safely say that it has come back to the Cardiff area in full force.
Anonymous handles have increased the area’s yak yield tenfold, with posts going from a couple daily to one every few minutes. Still not as good as last year where it was every couple of seconds, but we accept it’s a work in progress.
Even if the apology was poor af.
We don’t forgive you
As a sign of good will and letting bygones be bygones, we decided to compile a list specific to Cardiff as a way of celebrating Yik Yak’s resurrection.
Here’s to another year of nocturnal, needy, booty-calling backstabbers.
There was relief
….And bitterness
Can we at least stay friends
But they mean it this time
Hope
Use capital letters for more upvotes
…And shame
Come-hither from the night’s shadows O mysterious seducer
People were mocked
Same
Panic ensued
The nocturnal beings emerged from their caves
Sounds about right
Backstabbers shrouded themselves with the cloak of anonymity
Preach
Loneliness translated into complaint
Bless
Conspiracies were plentiful
It’s all a lie
But there were reassurances
Popular culture was questioned
When the crowd say Bo Selecta
But most importantly..
