I thought this would be easy because I do so little talking during my school day, but the words yes and no, and their derivatives, "nah" and "yeah" just come so naturally it was impossible to keep them from leaving my mouth.
Especially when I got to work where I'm constantly telling the kids "No, don't hit him," "No, get off of that," "No, don't eat that," "No, don't scream," or "No, don't jump on me."
It was fun thinking of alternatives for those two words, but I usually forgot to use them. Here's the one's I came up with:
NO:
negatory
nu-uh
nope
never
I should think not!
YES:
certainly
indubitably
without a doubt
concur
oui
preciscely
indeed
ja
