German, military:
The only (correct) answer to any (reasonable) order given by a superior rank (or any other rank in a temporary position of authority), usually followed by a swift execution of said order.
Also more often than not followed by some form of swearing/bitching directed against the superior, when out of his/her hearing range (mostly done by conscripts in the first half of their 9-month military service or senior enlistees who consider the ordered task a nuisance and/or beneath them).

German. Meaning: Yes sir! Normally used following an order and tends to preceed a large bout of gun fire and and some dead POWs and/or extensive escape attempts.

A sarcastic affirmative response to an overly strict or domineering person. The German military root of the word implies a reference to Hitler, as his officers would have given the same emphatic response to his orders.

Yes. When you have to acknowledge (say yes) to someone your pissed off at but what to do it in a way that will also piss them off.
A reference to the time when saying yes to hitler meant saying “Jawohl mein fuhrer”.
