derivative from Amish-Dutch:

1. To recount a story with excessive inclusion of marginal details
2. Close reading with copious marginalia or other forms of note organization within the text, bordering on the excessive

1. "I was at the party and got stuck talking to this girl for 20 minutes while she yodered on and on about her summer vacation."

2. "I should have looked at that used textbook before i got it; the previous owner had yodered all over it."
