In internet slang, the term “yikes” is used to express shock, surprise, or awkwardness in response to something negative or cringeworthy. It is often used when something uncomfortable or embarrassing happens and the person wants to emphasize their reaction to it.
Examples:
1. My friend just showed up to the party wearing the exact same outfit as me. Yikes!
2. I accidentally sent a text complaining about my boss to my boss instead of my friend. Yikes, that was so embarrassing!
