It isn't a suffix.

suf·fix Audio pronunciation of "suffix" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sfks)
n.

An affix added to the end of a word or stem, serving to form a new word or functioning as an inflectional ending, such as -ness in gentleness, -ing in walking, or -s in sits.

As we're all aware. I was stretching the meaning to something you add at the end of a sentence. Is there a word for that?

Not sure, it could be an interpolated phrase, but then you'd need to have another element following it.

What Martin said.

Well here's a thought : "that is" is a phatic phrase, i.e. it highlights the part of the sentence that precedes it.

Or we can just call it a suffix and get on with our lives.

Sounds about right.

And no Marty, it's just wrong.

Speaking of anal, be a good English and say "arse" instead of "ass":cheesy:

I'm classy. And I say bum

"Quality". "Ace". Whatever.

I prefer "choice".

As in USDA Top Choice.

But hey -- I'm not English.
