silverpig Lifer Jul 29, 2001 27,703 12 81 Mar 5, 2002 #10 Exactly N8Magic. I like to think of eh as a short for hey?
S StevenYoo Diamond Member Jul 4, 2001 8,628 0 0 Mar 5, 2002 #12 i say "eh" both at the beginning and at the end of sentences, but not both in one sentence. i picked up saying "eh" at the end from being in Quebec for a week, and i've lived in NYC all my life. Get off the car, eh? and 'EY! GET OFF THE CAR!

db Lifer Dec 6, 1999 10,575 292 126 Mar 6, 2002 #15 I think it's a shortened version of "hey?" --> 'ey? "That was some good game, 'ey?" "Do ya want to go to the movies, ey?"
