Has anyone else noticed that people seem to be starting their sentences with the word " So "

I have, it's the new 'errrrrrr' before speaking. It drives me insane.
As does every politician response that now seems to start with the word "Look...." D4 XS, gone, much loved, never forgotten

No can't say I have. A bit more important things going on in the world that bugs.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
So, like, y'know, well, I kinda noticed it, like, y'know, like, um, a couple of years ago, like, y'know, innit. It became particularly noticeable of the red chair occupants on the Graham Norton Show.
To me, it's a bizarre construct to open speech with, of all things, a connective. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

I hadn't noticed but will now - thanks for bringing this to my attention...
Bit like the Narpy "brought/bought" threads. Often noticed it but never bothered me until someone else started to say it irritated them.

What about "think" and "thing" - as in "I bought somethink from the shop" or "have you brought anythink with you"?
So who has a problem with super when "really" or "very" (or even no superlative at all) may be more appropriate? As in "that dramatic installation was super accessible to the one-legged lesbian community"

My bugbear is 'really unique' and similar.
Either something is unique or not.
So.
