Do you know where it comes from? People I work in with in NY say it constantly.
I have no idea where it comes from, but I don't think it's a regional thing, just one of the few delights of the dumbing down of our country in the past 8 years.
"Yeah-no in Australian English is a relatively new marker which serves a number of functions, including discourse cohesion, the pragmatic functions of hedging and face-saving, and assent and dissent. Drawing on a corpus of approximately 30 hours of both informal conversation and interviews, we analyse the interaction between intonation and turntaking, and the use of yeah-no by topic, conversational genre, and age and gender of speaker. The results indicate that the peak of yeah-no production occurs among speakers aged 35-49 years, and gender differences are not apparent in this preliminary analysis."

Hi. I know this is off topic but I really like the Sean Lovelace piece.
What was your favorite part?
What Ty said.
He paints a great picture...and then sings it.
I liked the Sean Lovelace story a lot, too. And I think my favorite part was that usually if Jenna Jameson showed up in the bathroom of a story all of a sudden, I'd think, "What?!?" and this time I thought, "Yes!!!"
And then the narrator said, “Don’t need it, J,” and I laughed my tuckus off.
I like how the toilet paper was a chrysanthemum. (OMG I spelled that right the first try!)
honorable mention for my favorite:
"it is what it is"
