So...

[Eamonnca1]

"So" at the start of a sentence is starting to piss people off.

My question is, why do free staters end so many sentences with "so"? What does it mean when they do this?

[AZOffaly]

I've only heard it in terms of 'We'll leave it at that so', or 'That's the way it is so'. To me it's like a summary. We'll leave it at that because there's no point talking any more. That's the way it is based on all we've said.

Doesn't bother me. But those who start every sentence with either "listen" or "lookit", should be shot with a ball of their own sh*te.

At the start of every conversation, I'm greeted with - "Ah f**k, not you Ziggy!"

Is that colloquialism?

Only if you're a colloquial.

"C'mere......."

Especially when talking on the phone!!!

McCooey's are the prime offenders, so have a word.

[dferg]

People starting sentences with "I genuinely think" or "In my honest opinion" slightly annoy me.

As opposed to what?  your dishonest opinion?

"Here be's me" is the worst McCooey/Frankie/chip eater saying I have ever heard followed closely by "here's me whaaaaaaaaa""

[Eamonnca1]

Sounds a bit like that thing they do in the north of England then.  Although they're more interested in the person they're talking about than the thing he's doing:

"I live in Manchester, me."

"You must be loaded, you."

"He's bloody fast, him."
