Yawning = agreeing with one's own, or another's thought, based off our intuitive judgment.
Im not going to give the hundreds upon hundreds of occurrences that would somewhat suggest this hypothesis, but i will say that when i mentioned it in a car full of people, everyone yawned at the same time, except for me.
A yawn is a reflex of simultaneous inhalation of air and stretching of the eardrums, followed by exhalation of breath. Pandiculation is the act of yawning and stretching simultaneously.[1] Yawning is commonly associated with tiredness, stress, overwork, lack of stimulation and boredom, though recent studies show it may be linked to the cooling of the brain
Yawn, from Old English 'Ginian' and 'Gionian' meaning to "Open the mouth wide, gape,"

I yawned from reading the thread title.
Can you provide more substance to back your claim/hypothesis?

Some research suggest that yawning indicates social status within a group. Other research indicate that it cools the brain...who knows for sure. I just know that it's contagious as all heck. And fun when friends as susceptible to it's influence

*As an aside, because stating this as an absolute obviously yielded staunch absolute responses in denial, this is only a HYPOTHESIS and is meant to be tested by you, yourselves, if you feel like doing so.

I read another theory once....which was WAY out there, but an interesting take none the less...that yawning was a demonic form of communication. In other words, those who yawn are under demonic influence. God, I hope not, because I yawn. But it sounds like the makings of a great horror flick!
