This is something upon which I have started a discussion on the Huddleboard and it seems the dreaded "Soooo..." is in Scotland too.
I have noticed this becoming more and more prevalent in this part of the world and it seems to have arrived from the States and Australia.
An example from just listening to the Rose of Tralee (from the room next door- the women are watching it) and the Philadelphia Rose - some looker btw who won the competiotion - seems to start everything with "sooo...my father did this.... soooo my grandfather did that".
It is regularly to be heard on RTE Radio news interviews, and I have heard it on British TV interviews.
I will make up some examples:
News interviewer: What is you prediction for the Irish economy in the next 24 months?
Economist: "Sooo the prognosis is good/bad/mediocre..."
Sports Interviewer: How much did this win mean to you?
Sports Person: "sooo I have worked really hard for this....."
Pol Corr: Are you confident about the result of the vote?
Politician: "Soooo we have put in the work and expect to see the results reflect this...."
FFS it is absolutely nonsensical, and has replaced "I was like...and she was like... and he was like etc" as my major hate in terms of speech at the moment!!
Steam has been expended and I am now enjoying my nice cold Guinness
.
Is this something that is creeping into your workplaces?
