From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
So-called \So"-called`\, a.
So named; called by such a name (but perhaps called thus with
doubtful propriety).
From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
so-called
adj : doubtful or suspect; "these so-called experts are no help"
[syn: {alleged(a)}, {supposed}]
My strong conviction is that widespread use of 'so gennant'
or 'sogennant' in German has led to the creeping misuse of
'so-called' in English (especially through technical writings).
In English, it would be better to use:
what is called
or a better translation of 'so gennant':
so named
