yeah nah is australia’s cl-ssic bogan way of saying yes to a question that they honestly couldn’t give 2 stuffs about.
bogan 1: ay mate you gonna watch the state of origin tomorrow night?
bogan 2: yeah nah i’m only gonna watch to see paul gallen cry when the blues lose again!
said : yeah…. naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
used when you are in a conversation and you kinda get what the other person is saying but dont quite agree with what is being said, or dont really give a sh-t.

yeahnah. the most common form of australian slang that is the short form of ‘yes, but no’. commonly used to respond to a mate during conversation, when you are aknowleging what was just said in a conversation, but you have a different view or opinion and are about to express said view or opinion. also used to express a state of appathy or ambivilance.
“hey mate, it’s a great day to go fishing hey?” and mate responds with, “yeahnah”. this means yes it’s a great day for fishing but something else is more important. not limited to fishing conversation but used in all discussions about anything.
new zealand slang, strangely enough, meaning yes.
“did you come home alright?”
“yeah nah, sweet as.”
