I normally read it as "I have no idea what the **** I'm about to say, so I'll delay for a second using this token phrase while my brain computes my response..."

But maybe that's just me.
 
It translates as "um..." or "well..." or "I don't have a clue what you're asking but I'm going to quickly rattle off a couple of well-worn cliches..."

Maybe ask Danny Frawley!

:)

I think there was an article in the age the other day that got it completely wrong. And it's not "yeah no" it's "yeah nah". But the question has been pretty much answered- that is, it's a kind of "well' space filler. I also hear it used as a "Yes I understand where you're coming from, but no I don't totally agree" but that's not often.

Yah I agree, it was a shocking performance.

BUT in saying that she hasnt been specially trained for media work nor has she had much experience. She's just a normal person, I'd probably turn in a similar performance if it was me handling the nerves.

I dont think you need to be trained for the media in order to answer what i thought are relatively simple questions.
Its just an embarrassment that shes won 250Gs for being a walking oxygen bottle

She won the money for just being Reggie. :cool: And that's why people like her so much. She's not perfect, no one is. :)

I agree. I don't watch Big Brother, but I turned the tv on the other night and the end of the show was on. They were showing 'highlights' from Reggie in the house. I think at one stage she actually seriously asked 'is that what Canberra is, the ACT'?
I've heard her described as refreshingly honest. That is just a nice way of saying stupid! She's as thick as two bricks.
She arrived back in Hobart today and as part of her new contract with Harry M Miller she was driven through the streets of Hobart in a parade. ****ed me off big time. I got stuck waiting in traffic while this bloody ditz who cooks fish and chips was receiving adoration from people lining the street. Unbelievable.
But then again, how stupid can she really be. She has a cool $250,000 and a lot more to make from now on! I should be so stupid!

That's more like "yeah nah." ;)

I use it a little. Not really sure you could say what it means, just an idiomatic thing I guess, like "ya know" and "yeah so" and "so yeah" (which I'm a common abuser of).

Now you've got me wondering! I tend to use it when I mean "granted, but..."
 
Its very simple and really polite if you look at it in an okka type of way.

Yeah = yes i have understood the Question you have asked.
Nah/No = but the answer to that question is No.

Me too!!!!!!!! It seems to be habit, but when I'm talking to someone, I sooooooo often finish a sentence with 'so yeah'. And it's a totally unconscious thing, I just say it then look at it and wonder why. :p

That's because it's the biggest thing that's ever happened to Tasmania. Some chick sits in a house with a bunch of other people, and gets voted to be the best at doing nothing but blabbering for 3 months is a big thing in that hole.

I thought Reggie was thick, but you make her sound bright.

Typical of why Victorians (and I am one) have such a poor reputation around the country!

The fact is people from all over Australia, and yes that includes Victoria, have been coming to her fish and chip shop to have their photo taken. If she has one thing going for her, at least she is good for tourism in this hole!!!!!

I'm sure she's got a 'heart of gold' but I've been saying the exact same thing.

What the hell is wrong with Australia?

As far as BB goes the voters punish anyone with a personality, and reward sub-mediocrity.

Please, even footballers can think of better answers than 'Yeah Nah' to every ****ing question (EVEN Lloyd at least he can string a sentence together without giggling like a tw at). And they aren't MENSA material.
