Yeh,Yeh,Yeh or Yeh,Yeh,Yeh,Yeh,Yeh ?

[Brizzles]

Or just simply say Yes ?

I'm old, but the basics still remain the same - if you agree with something the answer used to be a simple single YES or OK.

Question : Do you think if i tread on a nail will it hurt ? Other person: Yes

The answer would never be Yeh,Yeh,Yeh.

What prompted this post was a guy i overheard today who went to 5 YEHs ?

5 YEHs, i kid you not

Why?

I hear this everywhere.

Are YEHs just some feeble attempt to look ' interested and engaged ' in a conversation when you are unable to add something / or do not know how to respond ?

And why the amounts and where do you stop ?

Cheers,Cheers,Cheers,Cheers,Cheers, Brizzles

how privileged are you OP?

because in my experience "yeah or yea" is pretty common.

Singular is fine, but why YEH 3 or 5 times in a row ?

Example : Are you still working with Dave ?

Response : Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh Yeh
