What do you mean, where did it come from? It's been around for years. How can it be totally irritating when it's helpful? "So" means that the speaker has pulled together a number of elements which have been under discussion and is ready to provide an answer or to formulate an intelligent question. Example: So, if Aunt Nellie brings the charcoal, Uncle Billy brings the hamburger, and Esmeralda brings the tabbouleh, we can have a picnic in the backyard tomorrow. =========== "So" differs from "So!", which is a lawyer's trick, as in So! you admit you purchased wieners at the supermarket on July 5th! ========== I am getting tired of hearing "so" in sentences like this: Talietha, you are SO not going to the rave tonight.
