Random linguistic observation #137: in American English, depending on the tone, expression and posture with which it’s delivered, the word “yeah” can mean any of:

  • That is correct.
  • I approve.
  • I don’t care.
  • I am skeptical.
  • I wasn’t listening.
  • I agree to your proposal.
  • I require additional information.
  • I support you in this undertaking.
  • I didn’t tell you because I thought it was obvious.
  • I recognise the truth of your words, but fail to see their relevance.
  • I am a sapient jug of fruit punch.
