I agree with @gnilma that eh, to the extent Canadians actually use it, is much more prevalent on the east coast.
It’s more of a meme than anything else.
In part due to hockey, one thing that is still more prevalent in Canada than anywhere else IMO: adding “Y’s” and “ER’s” to people’s last names to form their nickname.
Yeah that’s how you became jer instead of J and I became grayruby instead of grayrub. Haha
Haha
Jays looking pretty good eh?
Not tonight but yeah. So far so good!
I figured the Easton Lucas bubble was due to burst.
You mean he’s not going win the Cy Young this year?
Probably not. Speaking of Cy Young. How about that guy in Detroit? Does he ever have a bad game? Another gem last night 7IP 4H 0ER 0BB 9K.
Might be from Scots-Irish origin like the article suggested. When I visited New Foundland last year, I found a lot of people there has a distinct accent sounding similar to an alternate but similar version of an Irish accent that I don't hear often from the rest of the country. And I do recall hearing quite a few "eh's" during my conversation with the locals of New Foundland.
Also, we don't get "eh" much here in the westernmost province. Might be more of a Eastern Canada or even just a maritime provinces + New Foundland thing.
I think we say eh a lot less now. I don't know. I remember everyone saying eh all the time when I was a kid and don't hear it often anymore or maybe I am just so used to it that I no longer hear it as part of normal conversation.
What say you @jer and @gnilma?
