One of the best Australian conversation injections. To first acknowledge what has been said (both polite and courteous) and then to reject said proposal. All in the one word. Often mistakenly considered oxymoronic by other countries
The Beero: Mate, whatdoyareckon? Sink a few long necks and get back into it?
Me: yeahnah, I'd be fucked if I did that.

Yeahnah. The most common form of Australian slang that is the short form of 'yes, but no'. Commonly used to respond to a mate during conversation, when you are aknowleging what was just said in a conversation, but you have a different view or opinion and are about to express said view or opinion. Also used to express a state of appathy or ambivilance.
"Hey mate, it's a great day to go fishing hey?" and mate responds with, "yeahnah". This means yes it's a great day for fishing but something else is more important. Not limited to fishing conversation but used in all discussions about anything.

Known as YeahNahs, as it's all they say.....apart from fuck, cunt and "it wassint me officer, you fukken dog"
AKA Housos, no hopers or junkies.
Typically a drugged out, unemployed person who lives on government handouts and/or stealing/dealing.
They group together, usually found at bus stops (because they can't get a licence or own a working car), the local park or Centerlink office (for me pays hay!) with their 4 out of control shithead children to different fathers/mothers.
Normal person: Who are those loud junkies overthere hoarding the bus stop bench?
Me: Oh the YeahNahs, yeah stay away from them...
YeahNah: Oi u lookin' at me? Yeahnah Ya wanna fight mate? I will fukken smash u....Yeahnah keep walkin' mate....."
When you think is something okay and good, turns out it wasn't.
"Do you wants some of our new wine"
"YeahNah"
"You sure?"
