(slang, especially, Internet slang) yes, yeah.
Enthusiastic affirmation. Drag-culture spelling of "yes," with elongation for emphasis. Sometimes "yass," "yasss," etc.
(British, upper class) an affirmative response.
Lengthened "yes" used to signal real enthusiasm rather than mere confirmation. The trailing S's scale with excitement — "yess", "yesss", "yessss". Used to celebrate someone else's good news ("yess girl"), to acknowledge a correct guess ("yesss exactly"), or to hype up a moment in a sports stream ("yess he scored!"). The plain "yes" has become almost flat in casual texting; "yess" is the new neutral.
