This new thing with adding, "right" into what seems to be every sentence. Sometimes more than once in the same sentence.

It's the new version of, "you know," which doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to.

I'm hearing a new one an awful lot lately, and it's being used in combination with one already mentioned, "Right?"

The new one is, "So [insert adjective]," with heavy emphasis on "so." No lead-in, as in, "This is so good," or "She is so smart."

Usually delivered with a side-to-side shake of the head. Maddeningly, often followed by an nod of the head and a lopsided smile while saying, "Right??"

Example: After witnessing a particularly adept performance involving pretty much anything, "SO good. Riiiight??"

“Let’s UNPACK this” or, “Lot’s to UNPACK here”. Mainly hear it in political talk and discussions. Drives me nuts.
