yies

This is a word used in similar situations as YES except with some doubt. As in, of course you want to but you are unsure as to whether or not you can.

the mathematical equation would be:
100% of YIES = 70% of YES + 30% of cute doubt

-Do you want to ride a flying narwhal?
-Yies?

yis

The word "yes", but said "yis". Originated in Olean, NY, where the slang quickly spread like wildfire. The legend has it, a man named barf was first to say this, but the story is not 100% confirmed.

"Are you doing anything tonight?"
"Yis."
"Oh, are you going to Lisa's?"
"Yis."
