People say 'save our ship' or 'save our souls'. But really it's just a easily recognizable morse code sound. dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit. It's easy to pick up without paying direct attention.

description for the International Morse code distress signal (· · · - - - · · · ) (listen). This distress signal was first adopted by the German government in radio regulations effective April 1, 1905, and became the worldwide standard when it was included in the second International Radiotelegraphic Convention, which was signed on November 3, 1906, and became effective on July 1, 1908.
From the beginning, the SOS distress signal has actually consisted of a continuous sequence of three-dits/three-dahs/three-dits, all run together without letter spacing. In International Morse Code, three dits form the letter S, and three dahs make the letter O, so "SOS" became an easy way to remember the correct order of the dits and dahs. In modern terminology, SOS is a "procedural signal" or "prosign", and the formal way to show that there are no internal spaces when it is sent is to write it with a bar above the letters, i.e. .)
In popular usage, SOS became associated with phrases such as "Save Our Ship," "Survivors On Ship," "Save Our Souls" and "Send Out Sailors". However, these phrases were a later development, most likely used to help remember the correct letters- something known as a backronym. Other backronyms include Stuck On Site.

It does not stand for anything. It is just a distress signal in Morse Code. Contrary to popular belief, it does NOT mean Save Our Souls!

Before "someone special" came along, it meant "Save our Ship", a distress/mayday call even used by pilots.
