Och aye is a Scottish expression of agreement or affirmation — a casual, warm way of saying yes, sure, or OK. 'Och' is a general Scottish exclamation (similar to 'oh' but with more character) and 'aye' is the standard Scottish word for yes. Together they make a phrase that's friendly, easygoing, and unmistakably Scottish. It's well-known enough to appear in parody and comedy, though actual Scots use it naturally without a second thought.
When she asked if he wanted another round, he just grinned and said och aye, sliding his empty glass across the bar.
