Are You A "so Flake"?

[10ClarionSt]

So, are you one of those people who starts every sentence with the word "So"? Even worse: Like, so some people do don't dee? Where have the
"So flakes" come from?

It's a device to warn listeners that what will follow is considered very important by the speaker, even though a lot of it is pretty much lifted from 'inspirational' websites and passed off as wisdom.

Gives you a chance to get away like.

Flakes come from Cadbury. Messy if you are eating them in bed.

Do re me fa

[Rockrose]

So how does it affect you?

[Buenchico]

I've encountered a variation on 'so' as the introduction to a sentence.

When supervising teams of young Asian guys, interviewing people in London, I've threatened to murder anyone who I hear starting a sentence with 'actually'! That was because I got totally fed up of listening, hour after hour, to interviewers walking up to people and introducing themselves with "Actually I'm doing a survey . . . "

Grrr!!!
