Ya \Ya\ (y[aum]), adv. Yea. [Obs.] --Chaucer. [1913 Webster]
YA- abbrev. [Yet Another] In hackish acronyms this almost invariably expands to {Yet Another}, following the precedent set by Unix yacc(1) (Yet Another Compiler-Compiler). See {YABA}.
Yet Another YA- <jargon> (YA-, after {Unix}'s {yacc} - Yet Another Compiler-Compiler) A humorous allusion often used in titles to acknowledge that the topic is not original, though the content is. As in "Yet Another AI Group" or "Yet Another {Simulated Annealing} {Algorithm}". If used of others' work, it describes something of which there are already far too many. In hackish acronyms the "YA" prefix almost invariably expands to {Yet Another}, e.g. {YABA}, {YAUN}. [{Jargon File}] (1996-11-26)
