Was bedeutet Yikes?
So I watch a lot of English youtubers and a word they use a lot is "Yikes" so I asked myself what that means, I don't mean the exact meaning, like the google transaltion form of it, but rather what do you mean when you say, for example,
"thats a big yikes for me" oder
"and i removed every group of people, couse Yikes!"
Kann mir da irgendwer weiterhelfen
"Thanks in advance" <and please answer in german ive you can, if not than just rewrite it, thanks again>
[oh and ive you're an native english speaker than thank you for beeing here and please answer my question you can say it best]

This is a site pretty much exclusively used by germans, so asking a question in english doesnt make a lot of sense here. But to answer your question anyway, yikes is a reaction which is mainly used in text form on the internet to comment on anything that induces a feeling of disgust in the commentator. Example:
A:"Yo i just bought some new sneakers."
B:" Cool, what colour did you get?"
A:" Red."
B:" Yikes."

Ist sowas wie "oh meine Güte" würde ich sagen.
Vielleicht auch sowas wie "och neee" oder "oh maaaan".
