right

A filler word used at the end of a sentence as a verbal tic. Right is also used to interrupt someone speaking. Right is also used in a condescending way to let someone know you already knew what they communicated. Right disrupts the flow of language comprehension and shifts the communication style to talking down to the listener instead of communicating with the listener.

"Those links tend to be correlative, right?"

A right is an abstract idea that a person must be entitled to. This may be due to law or constitution, religion, beliefs, philosophy, and basic human laws.

(Don't quote me on that)

right

A response to a statement, conversation, or action of others, and most commonly done out of annoyance, disgust, or hatred. First, observe another person's actions closely and once it becomes annoying let out a big "RIGHT."

Can also be used when the person you're saying "right" to does not know you exist. "Right" can be said under one's breath or in an extremely loud and disturbing manner. Saying "right" while alone is another favorite. Verbally repeating the statement or action made by the other person and followed with "right" is also common.

Also used with a question mark (?) and/or exclamation point (!). The easiest way to express scornfully one's low opinion of. A bitter response.

Suggestions:
During a long drawn out speech/female explanation/monologue throw in "right" about 4 to 7 times quietly.
Build up from "right" to "RIGHT" gradually as shown in the examples.
