perc2100 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) S.O.S the distress call more explicitly, morse code signal for distress that is commonly associated as SOS. Technically/historically, it actually means nothing from a verbal iteration standpoint. It was first used my Germans, and then codified when International leaders agreed that it was a VERY easy combination of morse code gestures to do in a pinch during an emergency. Because the signals form an 'S' (short dot, short dot, short dot or ... in morse code), an 'O' (long, long, long, or _ _ _) and then a second 'S,' people shortened it verbally to 'SOS' Edited July 14, 2013 by perc2100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornsUp Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 S.O.S. is a much-despised breakfast entree in the US military. Officially "Chipped Beef on Toast". Colloquially "____ on a Shingle". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllianaLancerContra Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 S.O.S. is a much-despised breakfast entree in the US military. Officially "Chipped Beef on Toast". Colloquially "____ on a Shingle". Also 1970's 80's Drum Corps food truck staple. If one was lucky enough to get a hot breakfast. Personally, I love the stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloooCrownValiersPhan Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It's in "Night on Bald Mountain". Here's a clip from a show several weeks ago...it occurs at 4:10. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=4eMWSAYLTAQ I have been wondering what the significance of using such a goofy sound like that was. Now I get it, fantastic!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
