Wow, I'm like, and so, she's like.... and I'm like well, DOH!!!....

The vernacular use of the word "so" which has crept into the local youth idiom in the last twenty years. It isn't a mangle exactly...it is an applicationw hich I find really irritating. You stick it at the end of a sentence with the idea that it is a polite way to avoid an imperative. "I'm going to put my lawn sprinkler right where you are about to park, so....". I always want to say "So, what? Can't you finish the sentence?".
