It was never needed in the past and ads no context that a simple exclamation point or bold letters could do if a person wants to add emphasis.
OP, please follow rule 2.
Done and upvoted you for pointing out the lack of a question mark.
It’s a shortening of though. If you don’t understand how “though” works as a word, I honestly don’t know how to explain it. My best bet is to just absorb as much English as possible by watching TV and reading fiction.
No idea. It’s a bit like when people suddenly started sentences with “I mean”.
I mean it’s not that bad tho
Why tho
Looking for an explanation, yes? It’s a linguistic convention, totally. I mean, you know, we add a lot of unnecessary words, like, serious. It’s superfluous verbage. Look, I know it seems to be a recent thing, but it’s, like, been going on for a long time, right?
The cheek in this comment, tho
linguistic convention, innit?

You sure about that?
superfluous
I think this has been my favorite answer in any of these threads. So concise and tongue in cheek, I love it.
It’s a while that’s happening tho
I like it tho
Chan because it would be rude not to tho
What’s wrong with it tho?
Lo, here we witness the claimant’s protest: “though” be not used in the past under any circumstance and still never shall it be shortened and used colloquially hence—for we all know: language may never change, even in the slightest!
….but really tho
It does soften language that could otherwise be mistaken for harshness tho
Shouldn’t be a problem, tho.
Chan I love Derek Jacobi in this episode tho
It was never needed in the past
Citation needed.
Maybe. Citation needed, tho.

Thank you, though
