The act of saying "yes" to something someone has said to you after you have already
stated you didn't hear the first time.
You don't want to ask to hear again, so you just hope it isn't a question that will
embarrass you by saying "yes" by.

"Dijahee shewaa

"Oh yea........"
"You didn't hear what I said, did you."
"Sorry, it was a common
frightful yes experience."
