When a guy asks a girl out and she tells him yes, but really means no because she's too nice to say no, which in turn messes with him more because he continues to think he has a chance, but really doesn't.
"Wanna go out with me this weekend?"
"...Yes."
"So are you two going out?"
"I dunno, she's being all gay and withdrawn, I think it's a yes-no."

Used in Derry as a greeting that goes beyond a simple hello. When you say "yes" to someone in Derry it really means "well my good friend, it's most excellent to see you and I hope you are doing well and achieve all you undertake."
It can be used to start a large and varied conversation, although has been known to be a conversation on it's own:
Person 1: "Yes!"
Person 2: "Yes."
*end of conversation*
"Yes" is very handy to use if you don't have time to talk to someone, for example if you are in a hurry to get somewhere but pass an old friend along the way. By exchanging "yes's" in a couple of seconds it is as effective as stopping for a cup to coffee and a chat about good times.
A word of warning, if you use "yes" as a greeting outside of Derry, you will generally be given funny looks...
"Yes lad, what's the craic?"
"Yes"

A non-gender-specific version of the pronouns "he" and "she".
Useful when you do not know the gender of the individual being referred to.
Useful if you do not want to disclose the gender of the individual being referred to.
Useful if you do not want to offend the individual being referred to. (some people do not like to be called "he" or "she")
Can be used to replace "he/she" on documents.
"Ye left their phone here."
"Was ye a boy or a girl?"
"Ye didn't say."
"What did ye look like?"
