No, the new term is "yoot".

Ex.: There are a lot of yoots posting do-my-homework questions on
     Java forums.  Here's a thread I found very humorous:
     http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=324107

(Context: the forums are not for people to have their homework done
for them.  And the fast-food references are a running joke when this
happens.)
