In Canada we use both, we’re very cultured.
Australians use “yah, no” and “no yah” the same way Wisconsinites do? That’s wonderful.
The second bloke is completely missing the nuance of the “yeah, nah”. It doesn’t simply mean “no”. It means I’ve heard and acknowledged what you’ve said but disagree or have a different opinion. Examples
“Mate I’m fucked, want to go to kfc for brekkie?” “Yeah nah last time I went it was shit”
“Ah fuck my bad!” “Yeah nah it’s all good mate, no worries”
“Trump isn’t all that bad, I agree with his policies” “Yeah nah he’s a pedophile rapist, you’re fucked in the head mate”
Australia out here doing Phase Shift Keying
As an Australian, whole we do say yeah nah a fair bit, the infamous nah yeah is slowly fading into obscurity, to the point where people are questing if it was ever used in the first place
Nah yeah y’all Nah yeah y’all Hey hey hey Nah yeah y’all
Naurrr yeh
Yeh naaurrrr
