the, "so what you're sayings"
I agree with you on the painfulness of reading transcripts (I had to listen to a recording of a bench opinion the other day, and just hearing my own voice in that was bad enough - now I understand everything is going to be recorded and put in PACER), but I was taught that the particular phrase "so what you're saying" is valuable to make certain the fact finder is put on notice of your version of events, and to lock in the witness's testimony as it fits with that.
