Beginning every sentence with "So" drives me up the wall

One of my buddies pointed this out to me as a disease in the company I used to work for. I noticed that I did it as well and have been trying to make a conscious effort to stop since then.

That is a covert way of drawing your attention to themselves so that they are sure you are listening.

It's an ancient speaking technique, to make a sound of acknowledgement while you think of what you want to say.

Watch some of Reagan's debates. He would constantly begin sentences with "Well..." while he remembered what the hell he was supposed to say.

This! I've noticed this a lot recently. It's an epidemic.

I’m not sure, Rig. Is that that a Philly trait?

Have you overheard Swift saying to the defense on the field that he just ran past that arse for a TD and everything?



My coworkers in Philly all say "and evryting [sic]" after a sentence.

Prefaces a lie. Giving them a little extra time before it rolls off the tongue. Hillary was/is notorious for this.

I ha a co-worker who ends many sentences with “and everything” and it’s maddening.


Had a neighbor who moved to N.O. from Ohio and just about every sentence ended with her saying "right" or "yeah right".

My pet peeve is "Like, you know".
