One of my weirder habits of language...

Yeahno. Noyeah. You read that right.


For some unfathomable (say that ten times fast....) I seem to say yeahno and noyeah. Half the time ever I can't work out which is which and what is what.

By laws of mathematics both 'yeahno' and 'noyeah' should both equal a negative, yes?

Negative multiplied by a positive equals a negative, and vice versa.

So therefore both 'yeahno' and 'noyeah' must mean 'FUCK NO'. Alright. I can work with that.

However:
Following this rule, yeahyeah and nono BOTH mean 'FUCKING YES.' And noyeah, the swearing is entirely necessary.

So, maths must all be total BS as no means no, or any pride I have as a woman just got hacked to pieces with a rusty spork.

Which leaves us back at the beginning. What the hell does noyeah and yeahno mean? I mean, I think I coined the terms, and I myself have no frigging idea... and yet, I say it with such… certainty.

Anyway, now that I've messed with your head, I bid you adieu. :)

Cheerio!
