My son, Euan, has started using a turn of phrase that I find very annoying. He is now inserting the word “so” in places where it’s not required. This phrasing seems to be quite popular amongst the yoof. I wouldn’t mind so much if Euan was a teenager, but he’s only just turned 5! I wasn’t expecting to have to deal with this for at least another 8 years.

It’s so not fair!
