Cool. I didn't know this one but I do now:

二つ返事 1.「はい、はい」と二つ重ねて返事をすること。また、その返事。2.躊躇うことなく、すぐに気持ちよく承知の返事をすること。こころよく承知すること。 例:「二つ返事で請け合う」

futatsu henji.
1. "hai hai" to futatsu kasanete henji wo suru koto. mata, sono henji.
2. tamerau koto naku, suguni kimochi yoku shouchi no henji wo suru koto. kokoroyoku shouchi suru koto. rei: "futatsu-henji de ukeau."


Futatsu-henji
1. Replying with two words stacked up. as in "Hai, hai"; or such a reply.
2. An immediate, well-meaning reply of consent made without hesitation; a comfortable consent.

Thank you Psy for that definition!
Do you or anyone out there know what kind of situations this word would be used in or what sort of situations would be classified by this expression?
Thanks in advance!
