I hear it used to indicate agreement with the other person’s statement.

A: “This is going to take a lot of effort”.
B: “Right?”

That's a verbal crutch Obama used a lot.

Filler words like "right" over and over makes you sound less intelligent and people judge you by how you speak. A co-worker really has a problem with this and I feel like responding "Left" every time I hear it.

Ugh my out of work professor friend who is early 40s says it after nearly every clause of every sentence. And she makes eye contact with me and pauses for me to agree. I want to scream: “I don’t know, you tell me! ITS YOUR STORY!” But I let it go. Nails on chalkboard tho. Deep breaths and nod or say “sure” or “ok...”. Easier to ignore if on the phone.

My 53 year old friend says it ALL.OF.THE.TIME and for me, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard. I hate it. Is it a question, or is it agreement. It is the worst and frankly it makes you sound stupid and absorbed. End of rant!

the YUP in yuppy is for young urban professionals, who can be hipsters too.


The Y in yuppy is for people who were young urban professionals in the 1980s. But that was 30 years ago, so they're not young anymore. I haven't noticed people aged 55-65 saying "right" after every sentence, but I haven't been looking for it, either.

This is big in quasi-academic presentations at conferences.
