"right right"

Perhaps it's also the way she uses it.
It comes across as impatient and dismissive.
Urban Dictionary: right

It's Canadian, or can be easily associated as such. I have no idea how I assimilated it into my speech, but I rightly cannot stop because it's so right good to say in the place of 'very', 'real' and the ilk. (additional: I believe quite a bit of anime adolescents have a predilection to utter "right right" after being assigned a task, but again, I have no idea how I know this.)
