Comedy section of brain: laughs
Geek section of brain: Starts thinking about Tux in ways never before intended
Linguist section of brain: Notices use of 'right' as an intensifier, is curious about it as I tend to only come across it in Yorkshire dialect. T'other third says it all the time, and he's from Oop North.
Thanks for the giggle :-D

"Right" as an intensifier also lives on in (the stereotype of?) the American West, as in "That's right kindly of you, neighbor". Pop-cultrure wise I think it also is a part of Mike Myers Scottish "Fat Bastard" character...
