Frightened About Looming Landing

How about changing 'Yes?' to 'Yeee-haaa!'

'Yes?' is quote a common stand-in end-of-the-acronym-Y-word for when you can't think of anything else. Yeee-haaa! is more interesting and topical.

"Yeee-haaa!" seems to me to imply a pleasant and enjoyable sensation. My expansion alluded to something quite diffeent., But, you have alerted me to an alternative with which I am happier - "Yikes!" making the expansion now read
Ground's Rushing And Velocity Is Terminal,  Yikes!

Thanks
