No, No, No, No, Yes

In Vicar of Dibley--a hilarious if often crude British TV series--there is a character who starts almost all sentences with "No, no, no, no." (Although once he said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, no.")

LW has caught the bug.

When asked any question, he answers "Nuh-no" (accompanied by a finger wag and several shakes of his head). That, however, is not necessarily the answer. If "Nuh-no" is followed by silence, then he was really saying no. Usually, though, "Nuh-no" is followed after a slight pause by "Shee," which is LW's word of assent. (As near as we can tell, he is combining "Sure" and "Si.") "Shee" is accompanied by jumping up and down, throwing his arms in the air, or both.

It's pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself.
