Been noticing more people saying 'yahhh' lately when they agree with something someone's said. Just a long, almost slurred version of 'yeah'.

Something like ''The Canadian accent sounds like the person just had a lobotomy''.
The same thing can be said about the southern US drawl. It's very jarring to hear very intelligent people speak with this accent because no matter what they're saying or how smart they are they still sound like a backcountry yokel. Think I saw an interview once with a nuclear physicist from Louisiana or Alabama and it just seemed uncanny.
