Etymology: "Yackers" is the plural of "yacker," a person who yacks, meaning one who talks at length about nothing much. "Yack" is an informal English word for chatter, and the "-er" ending turns it into a noun for someone who does the action, the same pattern found in "talker" or "singer." Adding "-s" simply makes it plural, so "yackers" refers to a group of such chatterers.
