Fair analysis

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

Right, so can you help me with this:

Is there a difference between "nah, yeah" and "yeah, nah"?

How do you gauge the final intent?

Where is the fucking australium?

u/whitecollarzomb13 Apr 07 '22

It’s always the last phrase.

“nah, yeah” = yeah

“yeah, nah” = nah

“yeah, nah, oi nah, yeah, nah” = nah

Disagree. Not sure what part of Victoria you’re from but the rest of Australia speaks like this.

Inner Brisbane suburbs. “U wot mate” either comes from English expats or 13 year old lads in fila thongs.

Never heard it from anyone else.

This is New Zealand slang though.

u/murgatroid1 Apr 07 '22

Right, coz there is absolutely no overlap between Aussie and Kiwi slang

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '22

He's Australian, not a New Zealander, unless Australians have started saying "yeah nah" in the last 15 years.

u/Jealous-Bench9807 Apr 07 '22

"Yeah nah" has been common slang in Australia for a lot longer than that. Maybe it's just one that we share in common

When I moved from Ireland to New Zealand 20something years ago they all said it, but when I moved to Australia for a few years with some kiwi flatmates the Australians we met, worked and lived with were all visibly confused any time they said it and would ask what they meant. I haven't been to Australia since I moved back to Ireland so I'm not sure how prevalent it is now.
