It means "emergency" or "help" but is it an abbreviation?

Contrary to common belif, SOS does not stand for anything.  Many belive it stands for "save our ship" or "save our souls".  In fact, it was simply used because it is extremely easy to tap and interpret in morse code.  Dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit.  It replaces It's predecesor, CQD, around 1912.  People have since given it names like save our ship, but when it was origionally created, this was not the case.

If you're in USA that's because a leading "1" is used to signify a long distance call. That's why it cannot be "111" since there's no use in calling an emergency service outside the town where you are.

pinche, it means damned. Like that damn George, he can never get anything right. It is used pretty often though, and may not always be intended to be bad.

It could mean either.  Same with my husband's cell phone.  When he is out of area it goes right to voice mail. At night when he turns it off, it goes right to voice mail.

I don't know what you're referring to, but one meaning has to do with the Wisconsin Lutheran Synod, as in a synod of the Lutheran church. If you use ask.com, there are sites that all they do is list what different abbreviations stand for.

These abbreviations actually predate text message culture. I myself encountered them in the BBS culture of the mid-to-late 1990's. \n\nThe ones that you list are:\n\ncmt = comment (how)\nc = c'est (it is)\npr = pour (for)\nki = qui (who) or qu'il (that he/it)\nkoi = quoi (what)\n\nThe French Wikipedia has a helpful list at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argot_Internet

Good for you for including the context you've seen this in.\n\nBut...I suspect this isn't a "police" term.  If you're talking about getting into or out of rehab, it's most likely a term used by the folks running the rehab program.\n\nStill, someone here might know.  I've never heard the term and can't even imagine what it stands for.

Yeah, I can totally agree with you on this subject!! I mean, we use abbreviations in chat rooms, I don't see what the big difference when using abbreviations in here. And sometimes, when I have a particularly long answer that I am responding to, I will sometimes use abbreviations when writing, only because my hands start to cramp when I write a lot, so I just use abbreviations. It doesn't mean that the person using abbreviations cant spell, it just means that they would like to use a shorter version of typing so that their hands don't start to hurt, or that their train of thought doesn't go away. It also obviously means that BECAUSE we are using abbreviations, that in all likelihood, we DO know how to spell the word. But most people on Yahoo Answers feel like this forum is for grown-up people who should always spell the words out. I only use the short-hand version of abbreviation, not the whole thing. Some words I will spell out,and some I wont. Well, I know one thing, I don't have time. I like using abbreviations, and I'll keep on doing it too!

It could either be a misspelling of OOPS or I saw OPPs as an abbreviation earlier tonight meaning OTHER PEOPLES PROPERTY!  Not sure what it meant in your experiences.
