Och Aye. 

Scottish colloquial expression.

Generally used more in order to parody or caracature a Scots-English accent than it is used in real usage by Scottish people. Particularly when combined with the suffix expression "the noo".

Technically, it means "oh yes". But generally with an emphatic edge which would place it closer in meaning to "of course". Elevated pronounciation would infer the added in meaning of "isn't it/that obvious?".

The phrase itself is heavily susceptable to region variation of exact pronounciation.
Q: "So are you wanting tae go tae the rugby on Saturday?"
A: "Och aye. Widnae miss it like."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
