One of my fav NSFW places to go is reddit. I'm here now to call out the over-use of a word:
So....
It has to be the most used word to begin a post on reddit.

| so....... |
Ok, I'm calming down. Still. Let's discuss:
So, shit. I mean, anyhow. What is "so"? ... a conjunction. My wife does that on the phone using her fake phone voice, when she's talking to someone I can tell she doesn't know that well. She'll tell something and at the end of it go, "so..." followed by a slight chuckle. In that vein, I guess it's like, "I just said something I hope you approve of or find entertaining. I don't know you that well, and I just want us to be swell." Ending "so's" are more requests I suppose. Opening "so's" are more like, "ok listen." Either way, they have something to do with not knowing what else to say, I mean, besides the normal use of "so" to connect main clauses (stfu! about grammar!).
In Puerto Rico, they say, "ehtay, ehtay, ehtay...." I asked what that meant and someone said, "oh, it's like saying, "ummm."
I just watched an entire Spongebob Squarepants episode where he gets stuck in Patrick's giant ball of gum. Spit kept dripping out of it. It was gross, and people lived inside of it too, but they escaped. Spongebob is trippy man. I don't do acid, but it's gotta have fan following amongst its adherents....
So....
