Well, my response would be it's either used like "very", used as part of a result clause (ex. the meal was **so** good **that** I foodgasmed), to mean "as a result of this", or to start a reply (ex. so you don't want to go to the party with me, I take it?), although sometimes the thing that was replied to may not have been something said but just an action or a moment, in reply to an awkward silence, for example. Or it can mean as previously stated (ex. like so; say it ain't so!), or it can mean to a certain extent (you can only eat so many cookies). Man, there are a lot of meanings of so. I doubt I got them all.

It's also a transition similar to 'therefore' (ex. I ran out of bread so I went to the store)

I have this problem with most words. No biggie.
