"you're welcome" has a synonym?

Hi! today a girl told me that there's another way to say "your welcome", she told something like "thankankyou" this when replying to "thanks". I don't know if it's true. Thanks for helping!

Could it be "not at all"? I learnt that as a way to respond to "thanks". I don't know if people use it, though.

It could have been:

"And thank you!"

where the "And" was shorted to "An":

"An' thank you!"

Hi

What I have noticed, most people just say "yop". Some interjection. That's it. "You are welcome" is more like a big thing and is not really often said . "You are welcome", is also used if people say thank you sarcastically meant.

Hi guys,

I think there is probably a great deal of regional variation in these responses to 'Thank you'.

"That's ok" is quite common in the UK. "Don't mention it" now sounds a little quaint or sarcastic. "No probs" is much used by IT helpdesk personnel. "My pleasure" seems a bit salesperson-ish. I used to hear "Uh huh" quite often from AmE-speakers. "You're welcome" can have a supplier-to-client air, in BrE. And I'm afraid some people say "cool!".

Maybe a smile and a nod's best.

What about "anytime" ?

Yes, you sometimes hear "any time".

No worries seems to be gaining ground in the UK (but very informal).
