T. Walsh / Ronan XVII's definitions
A short, indifferent-sounding grunt whose meaning far exceeds the audible expression.
The non-committal grunt is neither a refusal nor agreement; rather, it prompts continuation of the conversation without exposing your position. It can also be used in lieu of the Yup, especially those cases where you want to avoid inadvertent agreement.
Can be employed as a more politically correct version of whatever or pfft.
When deploying the non-committal grunt, one must understand that they are stating the following:
“I hear you and acknowledge that you have stated your position and are expecting a reply before continuing; however, at this juncture I am not committing to subscribing to your point of view.”

Get the Boats mug.YAFI: You're All Fucking Idiots
Acronym to be used in instances where the SF Stupidity Factor limits have been exceeded by a group other than your own. It allows you to convey your opinion of the group in open air to your colleagues in a discreet manner.
Most effective when inserted nonchalantly into conversation with the group in question in such a manner as to not raise suspicion (neutral tone and nodding are recommended for a successful implementation). Maximum results are yielded when you are accompanied by one or more cohorts who have knowledge of the term.
