So how many times do you say "eh" in a day, eh?

You know how only certain people from certain areas of America say "y'all"? It's the same with "eh".
Same people, too.

y'all is not at all just a "hick" thing in the US though

Ok, but it still is with "eh".



e: that reminds me (since my immediate image of a person who says y'all was someone wearing a confederate flag tshirt), sometimes in stores here you'll find confederate flag merch out of nowhere, dumped by a merch distributor who doesn't know we're another country, or see one as a sticker on a truck. This does not happen very often but it's just as confusing as you can imagine.
We are taught nothing about the american civil war, and calling it "the US confederate flag" would confuse most people, and when pressed those displaying it think it's "the rebel flag" as just some general tough guy shtick without any cultural/historical context whatsoever beyond the Dukes of Hazzard
