'Ye' in 'Ye Olde ....' is a representation of 'the' and is pronounced 'the' and always has been. The 'y' that is used in print replaces the archaic 'thorn' character, which looked somewhat similar and stood for what we now write as 'th'. In fact the 'e' in our 'the' was written in those days as a superscript following the 'thorn' character.
'Ye' as in 'Ye Olde Shoppe' is the most well-known example and the point is actually about how it is pronounced. 'Ye,' except when it is the second person plural pronoun, means 'the' and is pronounced as we pronounce 'the'.

Get the Yesmug. When yes is followed by a period, it is a sarcastic way of answering a stupid question and/or a way to answer a question you don't want to give an answer to.
You: hey you want to hang out?
Friend: sure where do you want to meet?
You: how about IHOP?
Friend: hey where are we hanging out?
You: yes.
Person: hey who are you going to vote for in the next election
You: yes.

Get the Yes.mug. A small town with strong cowboy culture, places where saying howdy is completely acceptable and horsegirls are born. Some people may be a little redneck and some people are dressed to match the trees. And everyone there has a weird uncle and the highschool mascot is a cowboy or Native American. Regardless, it's a beautiful, quaint place to grow up; and the people are friendly folks, who never shy from helping a fellow human being.
I've heard (insert name of place) is quite the ye ye town, they put on an awesome rodeo there every August!
