its 6ppd world. just throwing it out there.

^what does that bit mean?

What does it mean when people start their sentences with 'so' - I understand it is an Americanism, but I don't really understand what it is meant to portray ? The sentence works without the prefix of 'so' - it seems surplus, but like I said I don't quite understand what it is meant to mean ?

Is it to evoke a casual manner ?

Let me try:

So I got up this morning and had a biscuit with my coffee . . .

How am I doing ?

So I saw this girl on a green tandem.

So I met some friends in the pub for a drink.

So me and some friends decided to eat a tree.

hmmmm . . . .

It seems to impart a sense of continuation to your sentences, as if what you are saying continues on from a conversation we might have been having previously ? And this I suspect is to impart a sense of causality, friendliness perhaps ?

• I also want to know what 'its 6ppd world.' might mean.

• derrr!
  

So maybe it means like $6 postage paid? So that's like my guess ;-)

hardcore is nice

So what?

so what who? me

i was just saying....

for a good discussion of 'so' as a means of conveying a sense of in medias res read the introduction Seamus Heaney's 2003? trans. of Beowulf. He identifies it as a gaelic useage, replacing the anglo-saxon 'Hwaet'(sp?) which opens the poem. Once Tolkien enunciated this word so forcibly that he spat his false teeth out.

so what who? me

i was just saying....

Not you....just giving the most commonly used sentence starting with 'so' an outing on this thread.

So there.

so's ur mum

so's your face.

i can't recall what the exact term ppd is short for. i think it's paid postage due. i can't recall. it just means its $6 with shipping included.

and i have no idea why i use the word so all the time. i guess it kinda gives it an informal tone. anyway. don't edit my grammar. buy my records.
