Hi Sooner!  

I really think I need to start a notebook of words that we need to stop using.  I can't keep up anymore.

This is another one I use, BUT it's not incessantly.    I tend to find that there are numerous words I use that people here cannot stand but I keep forgetting to write them down.  Oh well  

So, the moral of the story is - Oh, I don't know - Happy Day!   hee

Not a new nic, just recovered my original.  Pix?  A few years back before I officially became a real old man. Flirting. Very seldom on the receiving end of a flirt, I get'cha.    =^..^=

I have a girlfriend who ends her statements with "and so".  She's an Ivy League grad.  I'd go get my money back if I were her.

If she went to an Ivy League school, I hope she would have said, "if I were she."

Chip Kelly, the former Philadelphia Eagles coach (and current San Francisco 49er's coach), was like that too.  Every response to reporters' questions ended thusly: "so ..."  It was like he didn't know how to finish a thought.  Or didn't want to say what he thought (for example, "so ... you're an idiot."  He didn't get along well with reporters.)

Say it ain't so Joe.

I think people use so as a softener or an enticement to what they say next.So gets the person prepped for the rest of the sentence IMO.

[chickenbutt]

For me I think it's more of a 'so, then this is what happened/to do/whatever next'.  

e.x. - 'So, then I went to the store and the same thing happened'  or - 'So, what you want to do next is ... '.

To be realistic, I do recognize that the 'so' does not need to be there on either of those examples.     I just also recognize that I do tend to do that, for whatever reason.

I thought you were going to write that the word is "Like"

Doesn't bother me at all.

Heck, John, I'll flirt! You are quite the handsome man!

Wonder how many of us have pictures (in our heads) of just what we think those on here look like. We tend to get to know a little something about each other, and I know that I certainly do have made up faces in my mind of those I participate with regularly. @hckynut
