Annoying things people say?

Not sure it's a Canuck thing (I suspect that it's used in the US to some extent), but I haven't noticed it anywhere else.

"Yeah no" = No

"No yeah" = Yes

I use these all the time just out of habit, but it's such a goofy thing.

"Yeah no" definitely is used in the US. I definitely notice myself saying it sometimes. Though to be fair I'm a hop skip and jump away from Canada so maybe it's more common up around that general area.

"At all at all" is one of those redundant phrases we use, like already noted "altogether." There's an Irish habit of adding words where they're not needed, for no reason. We also add "now" - "Don't be stayin' out too late now", which really makes no sense, but that's us Irish for ya. Maybe it comes from being indoctrinated to use the English language and is some sort of subsconscious passive resistance? Or maybe it's all the beer we drink. Instead of saying "good man" or "good woman/girl" we add "yourself" - "Ah it's your round? I'll have a Guinness. Good man yourself!" Sometimes you can add "there" - "Good man yourself there."

Another thing is to ask a non-sensical question and then answer it: "Do ye know what I'm going to tell ye?" Well, obviously not, till you say it. So you might get "Do you know what I'm going to tell ye? That buildin' over there was where me grandad used to work", and so on. Oh, and we call a fight/brawl a barney, for some reason - "Did ye hear all the noise last night? There was a real barney goin on out in the street."
