yea-nah

The 'yeah' means "oh yeah i thought about it" while the 'nah' relates to the answer

"yeah, i thought about it, but nah, dont think i will aye"

Very common expression in New Zealand
Hard to explain, but a very useful word, so not to hurt anyones feelings with a blunt 'nah'

"you going out tonight?"
"oh yea-nah, was gonna, but not anymore"
