The slang term “sos” is an acronym for “someone over shoulder.” It is used to discreetly alert someone that another person is nearby and may be able to see or hear what is being said or done.
In social settings or situations where privacy is desired, “sos” can be used as a warning that caution should be taken to avoid sharing or discussing sensitive or inappropriate topics in the presence of others. It serves as a coded way of letting someone know to be mindful of their surroundings and to adjust their behavior accordingly.
Examples:
1. Person A: “Did you hear about what happened last weekend?”
Person B: “SOS, the boss is right behind you!”
2. Friend A: “I need to tell you something, but there are people around.”
Friend B: “No problem, just give me the SOS signal when it’s clear to talk.”
