Well? Yo!

Oh, no.

How long until fan apps?

Simpsons: D'oh

Rammstein: Hei no
You need to know some German to get this one. Make some search traffic to find out.

Or local lingo apps?

Southern German: Heidenei!
Translation on dictc.cc. Also, it may look like a compound of "Heide" (heathen) plus "Ei" (egg, coll. balls), so, if you feel like it, you can use it as an insult so subtle that nobody can prove it. In its home region in the German deep south, this may well be the only expression useable in the face of superior opposition - bullies, parents, guys with guns - that will not add to your troubles.

Southwest by Southwest German: Alla
Meaning: "How are you?", "Let's go", "Well?"
A spelling variant with an extra "h" at the end of "Alla" used to be common but is not recommended these days. Seriously not recommended. Seriously.

Yo!
