Here's video almost explaining what "Jeah" means.
 

je•ah (Adjective)

1. Everything or almost everything
2. Happy
3. (To have a) good swim
4. Good
5. Good

[Possibly quite definitely derived from exclamation ("Chea!") popularized by recording artist Jay Wayne Jenkins ("Young Jeezy").] 

Linsanity. Fear the Brow. Clown question, bro. Fierce five. Jeah. All coming soon to an article of clothing hopefully nowhere near you.

Here's the trademark application in all its four-letter glory.
