What is a Ya ya?

[deelam]

Recently a girl from work passed away. A few friends of hers intoduced themselves at the gathering after as her Ya Yas. I think it is a club of some sorts, but I'm not sure. Anyone ever hear of Ya yas?

There was movie called the Devine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood. It was about lifelong friends and the things they shared. Maybe that was what they were referring to? Maybe just good friends.

It's a whole thing designed after the book "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" which also became a movie. Basically it's a very close knit group of female friends.

Actually its a much beloved book that was years later made into a movie. But yes, people who refer to them as Ya Yas are probably referring to a life long friendship among females.

That makes sense. I just never heard of the term Ya Yas, except for a Rolling stones album.

That makes sense. I just never heard of the term Ya Yas, except for a Rolling stones album.

I remember a song from my Happy Days album called "Sittin' in la la waitin' for my ya ya".

[deelam]

I'm going to have to read that book. So there are real YA YA groups? Sort of like the red hat ladies?
I love the idea of the YA YA groups.

 

[grlpwrd]

Yes, there are Ya Ya groups even online. I belong to the Firm Ya Yas which is a fitness forum of Ya Yas who love the Firm exercise tapes plus other workouts.

They are a great group of gals.... and a handful of men, too
