Northeast Ohio. I catch myself doing it all the time. I'm trying to stop. I think it's pretty universal.
SnarkDarcy
Then why try to stop?
mineovermatter
Because it's meaningless and the rest of us normals will thin know you're an idiot
darianrebecca
Because the extra words are just filler. They aren't adding anything to the sentence. I don't like using extra filler words when a simple
darianrebecca
yes or no would be enough. That's all.

Except in Australia "yeah nah" and "nah yeah" mean the same thing and the tone and emphasis changes the meaning

PPIIBBSS
yeah, the "no yeah" is basically saying "no, you are not imposing by asking, and yeah, of course you can" the added "for sure" just confirms
wanderingthrough
But the "for sure" is added to this "yeah no" not the "no yeah"
PPIIBBSS
haha yes, for some reason. it's like, "yeah of course it's no problem, and for sure i'll do it."
