well the so and so phrase comes from Italy from people that are pissed off at someone else........... in Italy, criminals use the phrase so and so to get their head chopped off above a pirate ship. but before they used so and so the phrase, they used to use the phrase im an idiot in Greece to get their head chopped off in front of a fire truck. the Italians thought it was smart so they made their own phrase. now the phrase so and so is popular for being smart!!
