Definitions
Jeah is a drawn-out, enthusiastic way of saying "yeah" — pure affirmation with extra swagger. It became a signature catchphrase of Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, who turned it into his personal brand around 2012, spawning merchandise and memes. Before and after Lochte, it shows up in hip-hop and street slang as a casual, emphatic "yes" or expression of excitement. It's the kind of word you say when a regular "yeah" just isn't hyped enough for the moment.
You're telling me the party starts at ten and there's a rooftop? Jeah!

A British upper-class affirmation — a way of saying yes or indicating agreement, associated with the Sloane Ranger and yuppie social sets of 1980s London. The 'yah' replaces 'yes' in the stereotyped speech pattern of the privately educated British upper class, and 'OK yah' combines it with casual approval. Often used mockingly to imitate or parody posh British speech.
