'Ever since Mark Cuban opened my ears to the 'right,' I’ve noticed it near constantly, used frequently by pundits, podcast hosts, TED Talk speakers'

Any Shark Tank fan knows that while most men who come on the show may appear to be pitching their product to all six “Sharks” — — they really are only pitching it to one: Cool Shark Mark Cuban. I get it! Mark wears his shirts unbuttoned at the neck. He owns the Mavericks, a basketball team. So when the sunscreen peddlers finished their pitch, they turned to Mark first to determine his response.
Here is how Cuban employs the right while tearing apart the sunscreen machine. “You talk about retail,” he says, “but you don’t have any retail customers, right? There’s nobody at retail to sell this to, right?” One of the entrepreneurs cuts in, perhaps to say not right, there is a retail market for a sunscreen machine. Mark doesn’t want to be told there’s a retail market. He wasn’t asking a question — he was stating a fact.
Panelists on the political podcast Lovett or Leave It use the right so frequently that, during one episode, their guest Sarah Silverman brought it up for discussion — in between an analysis of Trump’s proposed health-care bill and a gleeful send off to a then-recently departed Sean Spicer.
