eh

A word that is generalized as being used by Canadians. This is however just a generalization and although there may be some truth, not all Canadians will inject this at the end of a sentance. Made popular by Hollywood. The stereotype is made fun of in Canadian sitcoms.

Joe: Great show eh?

-Used here as some might use the word right. To make sure that the person you are talking to is paying attention.

Joe: Great show right?

eh

a stereo-type made from americans that think we say it all the time. But when actually used, it used to make sure the listner comprehends or is even still listening, also a short way of asking after an opinion if the listner agrees with you or not.

BOB: "americans think we say "eh" all the time did you know that eh?"
SUE: Really? like how they think we live in igloo's and ride around on dog sleds aswell?
