Though is a transition word.
We were going to the store though we should have been home.
though can be replaced with However or but or other transition words. To use it as a substitute for really has been done for a long time however (though or but) it is not proper.

Despite the fact that; yet; although
Even though I like you, I can’t ignore the fact that your behavior was highly inappropriate. (“Even though” means “although” or “though” in this sentence, but saying even though instead of although emphasizes your statement and therefore, makes it stronger.)
-I didn’t read this book, my friends did, though. (Though here has a similar meaning to “but”. Just at the end, however.)
-My friends really liked the film, though I didn’t. (“Though means “but” here as well.)
-Though he said that he loathed studying, I knew that he was lying. (Though here means the same thing as “although” as well, however it is slightly more informal.)
Also, there is “as though” which means the same as “as if” or simply “like”.
-He was talking as though he were in a hurry.
-It looks as though you are being traced.
I hope this helps!
