To be used in place of 'well', when one feels there is no more to say. This word was originally brought to the peoples' attention in 1994, from Jim Carrey in the cult classic, Dumb & Dumber.
This is simply one of the many words and phrases that continue to be used in teen conversation today.
So why is it always at the start of sentences on here if there's no more to say? Kids these days...... Thank you everyone, except Jo xx
