Mass infection of stupidity originating in a cerebration of ignorance in schools. Lack of grammatical skills from poor education and rap star role models.
The other definition listed is only partial. It can mean "huh?", but it is not terrible common. We usually just say "huh?" in Canada. "Eh?" is a word you add to the end of a sentence, to ask for a response of agreement or disagreement, similar in meaning to "don't you think?"
ex.
"Looks like a storm comin' in, eh?"
It is also sometimes used with "I know", and in that case it doesn't really mean anything.
-"Wow, the Flames really kicked ass tonite!"
-"I know, eh?"
Good luck trying to use it properly if you're not Canadian. Trust me Americans, we can tell the difference! You're not foolin' anybody :)
that's a pretty common term in
australia, we use it properly. Comment by: josh Rated:3/5

means like "i know, right" -- "i know,
eh?". So it kinda does have a reason. I
dont if that really makes since. Comment by: Kendra Rated:3/5

sentaces asken a question. well here

something or just at the end of
sencncet. "lets go over der eh" Comment by: ashlee

Ha, "Eh?" it's pure Canadian. Although..
japan has adopted it. They use it for
"huh?" as well. or, so i believe. Comment by: ImmaCanadian
Some Brits and other Commonwealth
countries use it a lot too. But we're
the most famous for it :) Comment by: Gina
in japanese you say 'ne' not eh. at the
end of a sentence it can be
used,basically, in many of the ways you
use eh. or you might be thinking of
'he' (pronounced heh) which can be used
for 'what?' or 'huh?'. Comment by: mar
Yeah we use that a lot in southern
England =) Comment by: Jase Rated:4/5
actaually mar "eh" basically means
"huh?" or "what" when used in japnese,
you hear a lot fo highschool girls use
this...it's a sort of expression I
guess. Comment by: sam

True, but with one exception. If Chuck
