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

Question

Or is it just another teen thing where everyone decided it was considered cool?I’m confused.

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" !!

Yes I Think So

Esther Anderson · Answer

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 “
