When someone attempts to say, "Yeah, but (...)" etc, it will sound as though the two words are often combined into one, as if it were a small woodland animal. Hence, you obtain "Yeahbut". It is even more so funny when they say "fucking" afterwards, making it sound as though they plan on having intercourse with a small woodland animal.
"Yeah, but I disagree."
