I've only ever heard the term once, and it was as described in Fruit
punch. No authority here, but one sample anyway.

In her description of Fruit Punch, Joy wrote:
A1 With couple on L diagonal, Yearn to new Neighbors and fall straight back
(8)
My understanding was that "yearn" means moving on the left diagonal toward
one set of dancers, and then back from there on the left diagonal so that a
couple has moved two places. If I understand Fruit Punch, the couple has
only moved one place, forward on the left diagonal and then straight back.
I've heard Bob Isaacs and others refer to that move as "slice" left but I
don't know if that's common usage.
