Are you a "SO" talker ??

[thebeesknees]

Okay here's the deal when I'm listening to public radio at work especially Diane Rheam (sp) she will interview people from time to time, she will ask them a question and no matter what she asks they always start to answer with the word so. I don't get that.... Where were you born, so I was born in New York City.... What is your level of education, so I have a Masters and a bachelors degree.... What type of car do you drive, so I drive a 1997 Mustang.....

Maybe it's just me but starting the answer to every question with the word so is driving me crazy.... And it really wasn't that long of a drive to begin with!!

i love me some diane even though she sounds like she's thirty years older than she actually is, but i've never noticed this.

also, my only real complaint with her right now is the fact that she only seems to be talking about ebola every time i tune in. not her fault, really, but fuck it, man. fuckers are wearing me out with that shit.

There is this guy at work that says, "Ya know what I mean?" after everything he says. I've thought about saying "no" just to see if he realizes that he's actually saying it. I can imagine it going:
"No."
"No, what?"
"No, I don't know.?
"You don't know what"?
"I don't what you mean."
"Mean about what?"
And so on.

or it might go something like this:
"and so yeah, it went down like that, y'know wha i'm sayin?"
"no, i don't know"
"but you feel me, though, rite? ya feel me, girl?"
"no, i don't feel you"
"yeah but you can dig it, right cuz? you dig that shit?"
"no, i don't dig it"
"pffft, naw man, you know wha i'm sayin"

I find that terribly annoying too. It's a recent phenomenon.

The Irish say "so" a lot too. But, being Irish, they have their own special twist: they put it at the end of the sentence not the beginning.

American: "So it's raining again."

Irish: "It's raining again, so."

They also (especially the younger folks) say "like" as much as Americans. But again, at the end.

American kid: "That's like awesome, bro!"

Irish kid: "That's brilliant like, brother!"

You say I talk "so" all the time, "so"

YES Diane's voice gets to me also, she is always gone for a "voice treatment"!
Why you would have a talk show host with a voice issue is sort of strange to me...it would be like having a postal delivery person with a torn ACL or a blind air traffic controller....a drug addict for your pharmacist

She has spasmodic dysphonia, a voice disorder.
