I would imagine the term originally came about due to the term "Achha" (pronounced ah-chha), along with the pronounced head shake.

(*) To be fair, one has to acknowledge that the aforementioned groups seem to be incapable of learning to speak the version of English spoken by the other group which prevents them from understanding each other. This flaw of character frequently leads to completely different definitions of the meaning of words "deliverables", "delivered", "complete" (with the exception of the phrases like "complete idiot", "completely ****ed"), "working", "failed", "honest", etc.You're awesome!
