As a Gen-X’er I read this and started wondering what “Gyatt” means…. As an (ex-)redditor I know not to ask.
It is a reference to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Gen alpha is very interested in the history of international trade and the rise of the global market economy.
Not gun in Korean, as per Johnny Gatt?
It's what the kids are using in place of "God damn" when referring to something impressive.
as in Gyatt Dayum
I work with kids, it essentially means ass but has a sexualized context to it. Most kids approaching high school realize this and don't use it as frequently around me, but younger kids seem to think it just means butt. Again this is just my experience and it could vary from place to place

I thought it was a Pokemon...
