yes no

Australian origin: No. As in yes, I take your point, but let's be diplomatic: no, you're absolutely wrong.

A: So is the stove that I fixed working yet?
H: Yes no one of the burners is still on the blink.

yes-no

When a guy asks a girl out and she tells him yes, but really means no because she's too nice to say no, which in turn messes with him more because he continues to think he has a chance, but really doesn't.

"Wanna go out with me this weekend?"
"...Yes."

"So are you two going out?"
"I dunno, she's being all gay and withdrawn, I think it's a yes-no."

yes

Used in Derry as a greeting that goes beyond a simple hello. When you say "yes" to someone in Derry it really means "well my good friend, it's most excellent to see you and I hope you are doing well and achieve all you undertake."

It can be used to start a large and varied conversation, although has been known to be a conversation on it's own:

Person 1: "Yes!"
Person 2: "Yes."
*end of conversation*

"Yes" is very handy to use if you don't have time to talk to someone, for example if you are in a hurry to get somewhere but pass an old friend along the way. By exchanging "yes's" in a couple of seconds it is as effective as stopping for a cup to coffee and a chat about good times.

A word of warning, if you use "yes" as a greeting outside of Derry, you will generally be given funny looks...

"Yes lad, what's the craic?"

"Yes"
