(archaic definition) Was common in the South, as well as from the Shakespearian era and later, used as an adverb which could be translated as ‘very’, though without sounding as corny (honestly, anyone who succumbs to using ‘very’, or for that matter the verb ‘to go’<has a lot of different meanings> on a regular basis must not have a very large vocabulary). You will never hear the word ‘right’ used in this manner anymore, except by either:
A) an extremely aged geezer from the Deep South;
or
B) someone who studies etymology or finds word history particularly interesting, perhaps a Southerner
You may come across it used in this sense in a novel pertaining to a timeperiod\setting when in ’twas used, such as To Kill A Mockingbird{TKM}.

Code name for girl who sits to the right (not left) of Cundari. Used so she would not know when one is talking about her, particularly her incredible sexiness.

Common phrase used when someone is pretending that they are listening to you but they really don't care about any of the words that are coming out of your mouth.
