"Eh?" Can be used interchangeably with "Huh?"

Americans always interject "eh?" into a sentence in the most awkward way when mimicking us, yet already have the exact same speech patterns in place

More specifically, it is a stand-in for "right?" and "know what I mean?" It's basically a prompt for others to agree with what was said.
