Mig, your post has made me mysteriously thirtsy, but I'll let that go for now...
In essence it seems that you're suggesting 'eh' is rhetorical - after a fashion at least - and I would agree although I know we both appreciate that there is precious little actual rhetoric in its useage.
One thing I find interesting is that as far as I can tell Jeanna only uses it when she's talking about her family and not in any other conversation.
Maybe we could call that situational rhetoric, eh?
