How come the eh? is a stereotype?
Where is the origin of this?
English
-
"Eh" is an American thing. You -blam!-ers started that.
-
CAnada eh
-
Canadian: How's it going, eh? Jersey: Eh, how's it going ? We just speak backwards. Honestly though, it's called positive affirmation. We just want to force everyone to agree with us, so it's almost always a question after a statement of opinion. Weathers bad today, eh? Good game, eh?
-
Very true
-
Speaking backwards is inverse syntax, no? Was that negative affirmation? Was that an oxymoron I just did?
-
I wanted to sound smart, but now I'm just confused. B

I'm playing around bro. I understand what your saying lol. I have a new phrase from you now. "Positive affirmation" To influence the person you are speaking with to agree with you. It makes sense.
-
I forgive you. It's mandatory in Canada, even for atheists.

Does anyone remember Bob and Doug Mackenzie?

-
Mexicans say eh too.
-
I say it a lot at the end of my sentences without even realizing it, so weird eh? Also depends what part of Canada you are from it'll be more frequent, I'm from Alberta.
-
I'm not even Canadian and I say it...

Just part of our accent. It usually follows a statement or question.
