The term seems to have arisen after the ott-teens, in recent times. Words and lingo along with slang, seem to be, and often times are transitory. Often iniated by juveniles approaching adulthood. Lots of words have come and gone.. Bichin (cool, good, exceptional, beautiful, a positive value) ,
ASS, (the opposite of all the previous 'bichin' descriptions, ie. looking basically absolutely Bad, no saving graces). A Grip, ...a lot, a great many or numerous few, but an amount pleasingly sufficient.
Tubular, (too cool, so with-it. successful popularity and so on. Valley Girl, airhead glamour)
A great deal of the slangs most of us remember are and were from post-war times. But since, following generations have coined their own verbage, exclusive to themselves.
But as with everything, it either becomes popularized or bastardized. The usage of some words takes older listeners by surprise at the seemingly absurd meaning trying to be conveyed, thus are considered bastardized. Other times it just seems an evolution of meaning as tech is brought to light and new horizons open.
English is a complex language with nuances, inflections, and a host of regional dialects and accents.
You will notice alot of people poor in oratory ability using phrases/words like .......... Like, Uh, So, I mean, you know, and others as a preface or as a tool to give time to think while formilating the conversation... Not everone is a good orator (speaker)
Well then.... does it seem to you that 'So much' has just become the latest of conversation conclusions or terminators, the hip, the 'extra mile thanks' of gratitudes ? Do you try to avoid using it, conciously or compulsively ?
Sticks and stones can break my............... ....... ......
Meaningless minutia you find yourself doing.
