when they could just say, so what.
that’s one of my favorite things to say. so what.”

“Take a step back. Draw in a deep breath. Now ask yourself ‘so what?’ Then, after answering, ask yourself again ‘so what?’ And then a third time—’so what?’ Chances are you’ll come to realize that the issue at hand is not as dire, detrimental, or important as you first thought.”

I have four siblings. “So what?” was a common response with us when we were kids.

We all know people who do that. It’s sad, really. “So what?” is the way to go.

Had a discussion yesterday at a family gathering. My go word is: anyway…. and I couldn’t find a German expression as fitting as this English word.
So what is another one…

Most of my family and friends don’t know a word of English. Am afraid to sound too elitist.. bit can’t, on the spot, think of a suitable German expression. With HH I speak French and hence have a permanent commotion in my head, according to whom I speak, write or phone.
