noun / verb / interjection
yip
YIP/jˈɪp/
A short, sharp cry, especially from a small dog.
The little dog gives a sharp yip at the door.
Etymology
The verb may come from dialectal yip, “to cheep like a bird.” The source also compares imitative Middle English yippen, suggesting a sound-echoing background for the short, sharp animal cry.
In context
Don't cry out like a puppy, and don't try to yip like a puppy.
