deelaundryThis actually came up in real life this week - LOL.
yay (yā) - interjection used as an exclamation of pleasure, approval, elation, or victory.
yea (yā) adverb meaning indeed; truly: They have spoken, yea, shouted their reply. (Can also be used to mean a 'yes' vote as in The yeas have it but is not used in everyday conversation.)
yeah (yě'ə, yā'ə) - informal form of "yes."
PS. The opposite of "uh huh" is "nuh uh." <= Being a cheeky bitch here.
PPS. If you see little boxes above, they should be the upside down e, which indicates a sound like the a in alone and sofa. (It's called the schwa -- dictionary nerd, heh).
