I've only just noticed presenters saying this - Claudia Winkleman says it a lot when she presents "It Takes Two". My DH has started saying it and I'm starting to notice an increase of people saying it at work.
It doesn't sound nice. I think it sounds quite dismissive.
(I can't believe that I am actually starting a thread in Pedants Corner. I apologise pedants for any spelling mistakes or bad grammar, I have read through my post. )

Have you noticed how many people say "Yeah, yeah, yeah" instead of a plain and simple "yes"
