Get the rightsmug. In England: During information-gathering conversations, "right" is an unconsciously uttered filler word that precedes the response to a question. The duration of the utterance is directly related to the assuredness of the response that follows. Short utterances indicate that respondents are confident of their answers. Drawn-out utterances denote that respondents have less confidence in their answers. When the pronunciation is drawn-out excessively, respondents are signaling that they do not know the correct answer, yet feel obliged to respond anyway.
"How many eggs should I use in this quiche?"
"Right. Three eggs ought to be enough."
"What is the most direct route to Scarborough Fair?"
"Ri-i-i-ght. I believe you follow this road to a roundabout, and go west."
"Is the library open on Sunday?"
"Ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ight. I do remember a time when the library was open seven days a week."

Get the rightmug. "Is right" is the term used by people who agree with something that is said. Generally used by 'hip' teenagers and people who just generally think they're cool.
