Slang / from a movie
English term or phrase: so ago
This from dialogue in a movie. A girl is angry with her ex because he took her car away. After she and her (girl)friend have gone back to her room, they look at the video she made with her phone when the man took the car, and she says:

- Dick. So ago.
- No, he is not.

Any idea? Thank you in advance!
