[Ads-l] "soooooo," adv.

[Jonathan Lighter]

This prolonged, semi-humorous pronunciation isn't currently noteworthy
(Ex." That is soooooo twentieth century!").

But a 1919 ex. may be:

1919 in Allen Peck _Allen Peck's WW1 Letters Home_ (N.Y.: iUniverse, 2005)
172: That swell Mr. Jones is so-oo attentive to Miss Smith who I think is
so homely, etc.
