Nai

Another way of saying 'isn't it' / 'isnt that right' or an alternative to the phrase 'innit'. Used more as a prompt to either recall someone's memory or to try and gain agreement.

*Two friends having a drink in the pub*

Person 1: "I think I know that guy over there from somewhere"

Person 2: "Yeah, he looks like that Dylan guy we were in school with, nai"!?

Nay to that yay!

This is a phrase to state when someone mentions something positive and you don't want to celebrate it for whatever reasons that you may have.

Bryce: "I got the job! I got the job! I'm so excited. Now I'll be able to buy the engagement ring! My life is getting good!!!"
Mom: "Nay to that yay! I don't respect your decision-making at all. You are a disappointment!"

Ix-nay on the ew-nay

What a stingy/indigent person firmly says regarding da purchase of a certain item, and meaning dat he will only agree to buy a less-expensive used model instead of a pricey "fresh off da store shelf" one.

With many types of items, it is indeed often a good practice to buy them second-hand, especially costlier objects such as houses, cars, farm/industrial machinery, tools, etc. But for other items like vacuum-cleaners or other dust-collecting appliances, batteries or other chemical-based products, untreated lumber, and other objects that tend to wear/dry out or "go bad" quickly/easily, "Ix-nay on the ew-nay" may in fact NOT be such a wise mindset, in dat DAT sort af "previously enjoyed" item might not be in very good shape anymore... here, buying a new item --- and then caring for it properly --- might actually be MORE cost-effective in da long run.
