Why are people saying “I think yes”? Is there something behind it?

Why are people saying, “I think yes”? Is there a deeper meaning behind it? Or is it simply a trend among teenagers, where it has become cool to say? I’m feeling a bit confused about this.

Yes, it’s just another of those passing fads. Instead of saying "I think so" or "I don’t think so" people (particularly on American television programmes, which instantly get copied as being cool) now sometimes say I think "yes" or I think "no" It’s really rather childish when you think about it! I think "silly" !!

Or is it just another teen thing where everyone decided it was considered cool?

It is a "parody" for "I think not". "I think not" means something along the lines of "yeeeeaaah, I think you suggestion is just stupid so I will not follow it" in a snooty sort of matter. "I think yes" is parodying it and is used when you see something awesome you want/agree with.

For example:

"A million dollars for free just for me? I think yes."

Or:

"P1: We should totally go to that party . . .

P2: I think yes “
