Post subject:	Eh!
Can somebody explain to me why Canadians like to say "eh" after a sentence. Is this just a rotten stereotype which was left over from the "Strange Brew" days or do you guys really say "eh". I haven't noticed any Canadian hockey players with this little quirk so I am assuming it's just a stereotype. I have noticed hockey players saying "a Boat" in place of the word "about" but then again folks in Boston say "heart" like "hat".<img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/wink.gif" /><br>No real reason for this post just looking to get some chatter going here.<br><img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/tongue.gif" /> <p>Naughtius Maximus <br><br>"Brothers!

WTF eh?<br><br>The majority of Canadians especially when drinking Molson Canadian, eating back bacon, going to our public medical facilities, turning our guns over to the state, courtsying to the queen, watching quality french porn and wearing toques genetically have to end most sentences with "eh?".<br><br>I hope this clears up your confusion. <br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> <p></p><i></i>
