    Yeah it's pretty funny how confusing this gets for people who aren't familiar with it. It's Australian (and New Zealand?) slang. "Yeah, nah" is effectively "No way, you've gotta be kidding". "Nah, yeah" being the sort-of opposite at "well, okay, sure". Not to be confused with "Aww yeah!" which is a lot more enthusiastic affirmation. And "Oi!" being anything between "yeah", "hey you!" and "wtf do you think you're doing?!" :)

    Let's see if there's anyone else from down under reading this... Aussie Aussie Aussie!

    Aussie Aussie Aussie!

    Oy! Mate! There nothing in this poll to cheer for!

    Say a friend of yours gets a job in the US

    "Friend" and "job in US" is a contradiction in terms down here.
    (...blink...blink)
    If I considering the concept a bit more, I'm inclined to think even "job" and "US" may be a contradiction terms... unless the "job" part is prefixed by the "blow" particle, that is (goblin grin)

      Yeah well, with SESTA/FOSTA you're not even going to get much of that now, are you...?
