As a foreigner, you can get by in Icelandic nightlife with only a couple of phrases.
Yes, yes, is pronounced iau, iau.
This answer will keep the conversation going for a long time, as a bit tipsy Icelandic people will keep talking, and do not really need anything but wind blowing the same way.
If unsure about what to reply, just try:
Ha, pronounced like the start of the word "Harlequin".
Combine the two in a row:
Ha, (pause), iau, iau.
Try it!
Before you know it, you are just blending in, like peanutbutter between two pieces of toast.
Or rather, like a piece of smoked lamb between two pieces of flatbread.
