Someone among us has repeatedly responded to posts with the slang “nah” in place of - perhaps, “no?” It has appeared within several subforums.
”Nah” is like nails on a chalkboard. It is also a sign of a low or stunted intellect. |

| It’s just a colloquialism meant to be dismissive. No need to overthink. |

| It doesn't bother me. Same with "yeah". |

What about the construction “Yeah, no.” |

Nah, it's just a casual and, perhap, snarky way to say "no". |

I’ll take “yeah, no” over “um, no” |

Sounds very Southern to use “nah.”
And we all know what that implies. |

My dh told me I do this. When I've caught myself saying "yeah, no" I think the "yeah" means "I hear you" and the "no" means "I disagree with what you said". Yeah, no cuts the language down and I can get straight to explaining my thoughts. |

| Real question is why does it bother you OP? Are you a super sensitive person? |

No, it doesn’t. And what does that imply? |

I use both, depending on how dumb OP's take is. |

Do we need a new thread on “hon?” |
