Hoo-boy. I guess you don't hang out with any French-Canadians, do you? Please, please, please keep them out of S. Florida! We have enough of our own a-holes here.

Huh? It's not that close to Canada. North Dakota is in between and even then it's in the southern half of S. Dakota.

It's probably 450-500 miles from Canada...

We are used to American insults here in Canada as are people all over the world. Just to set the record straight, it is not "eh" it is " Aye " and the reason Canadians say Aye is that we are generally smarter than the rest of the world and we say aye to prompt you to see if your following the coversations train of thought, aye!
We don't need to snap back, last time we did we burnt the White House to the ground then we went home thinking it was a lesson learned, guess not aye.
Don't follow the donut thing, I'm guessing its a slight against Tim Horton's, I'd say be careful there cause Tim Horton was a hockey superstar that was killed in a car crash at the peak of his playing days and we take our hockey pretty serious here aye. Maybe you should load up the American Hockey team with some sugar donuts for the 2010 winter old-limp-dicks, won't matter though as they have an ice cub's chance in hell to make the medal round aye.
Still a great pic, I'm waiting for the overhead shot.

Bzzzt...Wrong answer, donut hole:

Eh This article is about the interjection. For chemical concept, see Eh (chemistry). For the Russian expression, see Ekh (expression). For other uses, see EH.

"Eh" (pronounced /ˈeɪ/ or /ˈɛ/ in English) is a spoken interjection in Armenian, Japanese, English, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese meaning something along the lines of "Repeat that, please". It is also commonly used as a method for inciting an answer, as in "it's nice here, eh?" Lastly, it can also be used to express indifference. In North America, it is most commonly associated with Canada.

The spelling of this sound in English is very different from the common usage of these letters. The vowel is sounded in one of the continental manners, and the letter h is used to indicate that it is long, as though the origin of the spelling were German.

It is an invariant question tag, unlike the "is it?" and "have you?" tags that have, with the insertion of not, different construction in positive and negative questions.

There is some question about the origin of the term. A popular theory is that the "eh" sound is similar to the "ey" sound that a native French speaker will stereotypically say when pronouncing the word "Hey". Dropped H's are also common to many British dialects.



aye 1 also ay
n.
An affirmative vote or voter: The ayes outnumber the nays on this issue.
adv.
Yes; yea: voted aye on the appropriations bill.
--------------------------------
[Perhaps from Middle English *ayye : ay, always; see aye2 + ye, yes; see yea.]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aye 2 also ay ()
adv.
Always; ever: pledged their love for aye.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Middle English ai, from Old Norse ei; see aiw- in Indo-European roots.]

aye or ay

Noun
an affirmative vote or voter [probably from I, expressing assent]

Yaarr, this here pirate be disagreein' with ye! Aye is the bucaneer term for yes, and ought to be bespoken by swashbucklin' bilge rats only! Yaar.

Eh, on de udder hand, is the proverbial Canuck slang to be used at end of a bunch of words to encourage agreement or understanding, though it's spoken by people from all over the world, in particular Yanks and Brits.
