According to the Urban dictionary...

The first word of any answer given by a know-it-all douchebag, said to give the effect that they were already speaking when you asked your question or requested their opinion, in order to feign,superiority or to imply that they knew what you wanted to know before you inquired.

I don't mind it too much, sorry.

It's obviously supposed to be a linking word, a conjunction, so it obviously shouldn't be used at the start of what you're saying. "Well" would often be a better word, "used when pausing to consider one's next words, to mark the resumption or end of a conversation".

But there are much worse abuses of the beautiful English language.

For instance the lack of past tenses in verbs, such as "I text John yesterday". AAAAARRRRGH, no, you texted him. Or," I see this car last week". AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH, no you saw it.

And don't get me started on apostrophe's.
