Brilliant word. South African based. Literally translates to "yes no". Is great in many instances. It can be a conversation filled.
Used to fill pregnant pauses.
Portrays a sense of indifference.
Also if you're not sure if you COMPLETELY agree or disagree with someone.
Its friendly and non-committal.
Sorta strange so you can end statements with it.
