The Awkwardness of So.

So,
is a terrible word. Oly due to the fact people use it. "So" can be a window to a whole new world or conversational possibilities. Often people indulge in "So" when a conversation may have turned awkward or died all together. The conversation follows as such,
Person A: Aahh...mm... So?
Person B: So..

Person B has now trapped person A. If person A were to retort "So" then only then would they not be making conversation. Person B now has the right to get mad at person A for not thinking of something to say, when in reality person B should have thought of a conversational topic and thus started talking about it.

Why is it that each person is allowed to say "So" once but the second they say it more than once they have over stepped the boundaries of "So". I guess my advice is to use the power of "So" wisely. If caught in a conversation with someone who says "So" simply turn left, then sprint 100 yards, turn back to your Person A and yell,"SO WHAT DICK" then continue to run.
