What does "Jeet yet?" mean in New Jersey and Pennsylvania slang?
The structure is a rapid, slurred contraction of "Did you eat yet?" where "Did you" becomes "Jeet" (J + eat) through connected speech. It is used in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and parts of the Mid Atlantic and Northeast as a casual, quick way to ask someone if they have eaten, often before offering food or suggesting a meal. People typically say "Jeet yet?" and the common response is "No, jew?" (No, did you?).
