Yik Yak is a popular app, which is meant to be exclusive to college campuses (or at least college students). The app allows people to post their thoughts in a “yak” (similar to a tweet) as well as comment and vote up or down on other people’s yaks—and all of this is completely anonymous. The anonymity of this site allows people to freely post whatever they would like with presumably no consequence to themselves. The app can be fun and is often used for random comical thoughts and observations; however, occasionally more serious matters will be addressed (politics, personal values, etc.).
