Ah Yeah, Yeah no, etc!!
One thing i have noticed in Aus which i love is the term Ah Yeah, said in a slow sort of drawl, ah yeah covers the lot. eg.
how you doing? answer: ah yeah!!
how was match? answer: ah yeah!!
the police are chasing you, watch out!! answer: ah yeah!!
these two words have a thousand meanings, it is totally up to you how you decipher them.
My other favourite is yeah no!! (bear with me)
EG: Hi Mr Smith is that order on it's way?
Answer: Yeah (Me thinking, great another order) no there has been a hiccup,
me:
but you said yeah first?
it happens all the time look out for it

My wife and I spent some time musing over this very thing today oddly enough. We came to the conclusion that its a multi purpose verb, noun or expression depending on circumstances and usually means exactly what you thought it didnt

What about 'aw, look' as well as a sentence starter & 'yeah' as a sentence end

Instead of saying "it depends" I'll say "ah yeah" as a prefix
