      Randomly saying “yup” unprompted is a pretty common southern/midwestern thing.

      Think of King of the Hill when all 4 of the guys are standing in the alley drinking beer. “Ayup. Mhmm. Yup.”

        The Swabian (part of Germany) version is: “Ja, ja, So, so. Ja, ja.”

        It is a full conversation that says it all, no more words needed for half an hour. :D
