I've often wondered why people say this awful, thoroughly unintelligent word. Is it because people simply don't have the means of properly saying what they want to say? Or do people think it's effective in any way? I just can't understand it, and it drives me up the wall.

I find it very insulting when people use this word. It's such a terribly annoying thing to say, and I'd seriously like to get hold of whoever introduced it to the english language

I completly agree. It means the person your talking to is obviously not interested in what you're saying.
