Isn’t this the plot of The Banshees of Inisheerin?

Randomly saying "yup" unprompted is a pretty common southern/midwestern thing.

Think of King of the Hill when all 4 of the guys are standing in the alley drinking beer. "Ayup. Mhmm. Yup."

The Swabian (part of Germany) version is: "Ja, ja, So, so. Ja, ja."

It is a full conversation that says it all, no more words needed for half an hour. :D

"Ayup" is also a way of pronouncing "hey up" which is a common greeting in parts of northern England.

What else could this greeting mean other than ey-up? I'm not even from Yorkshire and I can only read this comic one way!

Shouldn't the H be an '? As in silent and never written? I've never heard the H pronounced or seen it written.
