Etymology

The template Template:rfe does not use the parameter(s): 
ShengNation (http://www.sheng.co.ke/kamusi/?word_id=1116) suggests: Derived from the English adverb "So" and related to things being "so big". Its use in denoting a Hundred Shillings stemmed from the fact that for a long time, the largest denomination in Kenya was the 100 Shilling note. It was not until 1986 that a larger 200 Shillings note was introduced.
