What is this latest annoying trend to start every sentence in a conversation with "so"?. You wouldnt write it in a sentence so why do it in conversation?

Good way to start a thread!!
It drives me crazy as well - let's start a campaign to get it banned from all media outlets.

If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.

I first started noticing this about 5 years ago & drives me up the wall.

The strange thing is that I've never come across it in real life - it seems, bizarrely, to have originated in academia, and is most frequently used by scientists, university lecturers etc. during interviews on Radio 4. You'd bloody we'll think they'd know better. Politicians are now infected.

Unsurprisingly, it seems to me that it began in American academic/university circles.

Utterly awful.

Starting a sentence with "Look" is worse and straight out of the politician's pr guide to try and sound assertive and authoritative, instead of the farties they are. Does my swede in.

Anyone ever worked in customer service in South Wales? Every third customer starts off with 'What it is right see....' and then explains what they want.

You're certainly not. I started noticing this a couple of years ago and once you've noticed it you can't un-notice it. Someone being interviewed on telly the other day (can't remember who, maybe on Sunday Brunch) started every answer with the word "so" - about five answers in a row. And then there was Noah Cyrus saying "like" every other word. I despair.

I used to work in Fforestfach many moons ago and a regular phrase there was 'what it is'

That was annoying!

"Gylfi's on fire, your defence is terrified!"

My bÃªte noire is "Absolutely"

If you mean "yes" just say "yes".

Agree with Monmouth.
Aussie cricketers especially Ricky Ponting used to start answering every question with "Look", a few New Zealanders do it and now fecking RobHowley does it!!!!

Politicians I've noticed use it.

"Moving forwards"...........

"absolutely" is just a faux clever way of saying YES

anyway "It is what it is"
