Explanation: Germans ~~used to~~ (apparently only in my bubble) call cellphones "Handy" and many people still do that. My friends from america found that quite hilarious.

We still call them so.
Using "so"instead of "that". This guy germans.
As a German. The way you phrase sentences is so similar in both languages at times that it becomes so damn easy to create a sentence which might sound reasonable at first glance, yet doesn't make any sense if you think about it and/or have a "deep" understanding of thr English language.
Thus so is so or deshalb and also is auch. Yep, it gets confusing.
