So…

Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 8.01.08 AMtop-10-most-overused-words_1When did otherwise intelligent people begin using the word “so”  in conversations the way Valley Girls use the word “like”?

I suppose there is uncanny symmetry in claims by geeks in Silicon Valley that they started opening sentences with “so” in the 1990s. If so I wonder why it has taken 20 years for it become the adult version of “like”….

Whatever the case, I find this (belated) trend, like, so totally annoying. Don’t you?
