So. As an off-shoot of the ‘content’ thread on irritating thread title tics, I’d like to discuss the beginning of thread titles with the word ‘so’.

Again – why do people feel the need to incorporate verbal tics into written form?

Again – some thread titles that could occur:

Mediocre garden implement – So, so-so hoe.

Mediocre needlework – So, so-so sewing.

Hippy day out on a ferry – So, bo-ho ro-ro beano.

So, my SO is so so-so at sewing

So what.

it’s creeping in everywhere in daily life too… i blame the commons select committee enquiries, people who answer questions there all seem to start their answers with “so…”

X-ray Specs covers band in poor rendition:

So, so-so the day the world turned day-glo oh oh oh ya know ya know.

Email me for pics.

It started in America.

Native America?

So – Arapahoe no?

Because only politicians are allowed to use “look”.

I thought that was Martin Keown?

Jesus Danny, you must be SO bored 😉

Because when posting a thread, it’s usually as a result of a thought process that began sometime before. So the thread is a natural follow on from that train of thought, or corollary of it, and so starts with a ‘so’.

Just because we can’t see the thought process that led to it, doesn’t been it’s wrong. Grammatically sub-optimal, perhaps.

I don’t necessarily think it is wrong, it just gets on my tits.

Cheers Rascal – you are immune from any acid reply I might make to anyone else because you lent me a whole bike and walked my broken one back to the car not so long ago. Nice post.

You’ve got tits?
I hate cliche.
