This can also be used in a
quest for
affirmation, in a situation where one is mostly sure of the
rightness of one's analysis (or
sussing) of an
idea, but there is a lingering doubt,
perhaps (perhaps a
dingleberry of
skepticism dangling over the
toilet of ultimate self-assurance or
some such), a momentary hesitation before the acceptance of one's own conclusion in which
self-doubt flickers, and so a second
opinion is sought. The person asked tends to be a definitive authority, who will confirm or dismiss your statement with litmus surity YES or NO. It appears at the end of a sentence such as:
They aren't going to come back and we're going to be stranded here alone without tv until we die, huh?
The above sense of huh? may also be affected in a coy attempt to feign eyes-wide innocence (different from fuck-me eyes). Or at least so is how I used it in an aside about Sierra Sid's.
