That one is actually o-josu-desu-ne, and it means "You are skillfull, aren't you" and does not just refer to speaking! The "arn't you" bit is the ne, and is required unless you are making a statement; which would be forthright and a bit rude and embarressing for the recipient.

Sorry scratt. You kind of know what you're talking about but not really.
Maybe you haven't heard someone say that before in that context, but I've heard it a lot. Literally it means what you've said, but figuratively it means what I've said (and that's why I said figuratively
)
And 'cool' guys don't say 'aren't you' in Japanese.
But no harm no foul. BOT.
Edit: Article from Japan Times on jozu desu ne. Maybe this guy's totally wrong too.
