What does So mean?

The letters SOS in Morse Code mean HELP.

'SOS' is the Morse code international distress signal. It doesn't actually mean anything but is simply a combination of two easily-distinguishable letters: 'S' (...) and 'O' (---).

The assumption that SOS in Morse code means anything in words is a fallacy. The letters were chosen because of the ease of transmission and the distinctive sound of the repetition which is easily recognized in any language.

It was only later that people invented Save Our Souls or Save Our Ship for their own needs that have nothing to do with the transmission of a distress call.

SOS (not S.O.S.) is an easy Morse code message meaning, (We need help!), SOS in Morse code is . . . _ _ _ . . . (di-di-dit . . . dah-dah-dah . . . di-di-dit) (When SOS was originated, there was very little voice-based radio, so we think of it in terms of Morse code.)

Not long after, SOS became the new signal for needing help, usually at sea or in the air. Early on, someone made a joke that SOS must stand for, "Save Our Ship", but in reality, SOS was very simple and easy to remember. Later, SOS began being used for voice radio signals for help.

Before SOS became popular, the Morse code for "CQD" was used as an emergency signal code. It's code was _ . _ . _ _ . _ _ . . (dah-dit dah-dit, dah-dah-di-dah, dah-dah dit) This was hard to remember and not very simple - it was used by professional radio technicians working for the Marconi radio company aboard ships. CQD stood for "seek you - distress", most likely.

It means that something is neither good nor bad. You say "so so" if someone asks "How are you?" and you are feeling sort of blah. It can also be used with a hand gesture, where you put your hand out palm down and waggle it up and down a little bit.
