I am not sure if its origin is Russian, German, Slovak?
I have looked all over the net and all the translators wont tell me what it is. Some blog references referred it to Devil. I used to think it was an affirmative responce, like yes sir, that the German Nazi's used in WWII.
Can anyone help? 10 points to the best answer!

with the proper spelling - jawohl -, and with my WWII reference, the actual meaning was "yes, sir". thanks

Actually, it's German, and is spelled "jawohl". It means "yes, indeed!"

Just be careful how and where you use it, because saying "jawohl" is no longer socially acceptable in Germany and among native German speakers, due to its association with the Nazi party.... Having been to Germany several times, and speaking the language, I can say that most Germans only say "ja" and even "Yes" and "Yes, OK"....

As far as I know, it's spelled "jawohl", and it's a "yes" with emphasis (could be "yes, of course", or anything similar)
