    That one also gets shortened further to "you're right", and can be combined with "nah, yeah" to get an sentence like "nah, you're right".

  It doesn't literally mean "you're welcome", but it's used in the same context. It does mean what you think it means, which is also what "you're welcome" means: don't worry about that perceived imposition.
