The way YN is used today is “Young Nigga,” but only because people online ASSUMED that’s what it meant. Hence, that’s the way it’s used. The way it was actually being used before people bastardized it, thinking they’re in touch with black culture, is “Youngin’” or “Young’n.” It is how older black men refer to young, usually black, children - teens - young adults. The YN is actually pronounced as Young’n. You don’t say the letters out individually. Kinda like how YT is prounounced as “White” not “Why Tee”
