Emergency Signal
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOS has been suggested to mean "Save Our Souls" or "Suspend Other Services". In Morse Code, it is 3 dots followed by 3 dashes and then another 3 dots like this :

SOS actually did not stand for anything, originally; "Save Our Souls" (or "Save Our Ships" or "Stop Other Signals") is just a "backronym", or acronym created after the word was properly defined. It just "stands" for the Morse Code pattern of dots and dashes.

The so called SOS signal is not SOS, it is one single 9 pulse character meaning Distress Call or Emergency.
The letters SOS are di-di-dit dah-dah-dah di-di-dit (with spacing every 3 pulses)
Distress Call is di-di-di-dah-dah-dah-di-di-dit (continuous without spacing)
