/ˈji/ /hɔː/

Oft conflated with gee haw: right and left, respectively, TWO commands for controlling a beast of burden with respect to the current path. The current expression is the result of the phonologically entertaining velar abandonment of gee /dʒiː/ for slothen vowel yee

"YEE," let's not fall into the fathomless crevasse. "HAW," let's not flip the caravan riding up the embankment. Yee Haw itself is befuddling
