I also use yy a lot. It copies lines into the buffer, which can then be pasted with p. Like many other commands, it takes an optional number to preface, like 6yy to copy 60 lines. p also takes numbers. When you use dd to delete lines, they also go into the buffer and can be pasted in with p. p pastes the number of lines in the buffer, but if a number is used, the buffer lines will be pasted multiple times.
