Default Re: So there!

Usually, it means "I told you this would happen," or "I was right."

A southern girl told me that it means "I was right and you can't say anything back to that!"

and it's only used by little kids!

is that right?
and is it slang used only in the south?

Thanks

No, it's used in the North as well as the South. But it is generally spoken by little kids.
