sos is often associated as being an distress signal that stands for = "Save Our Ship," "Save Our Souls," "Survivors On Ship," "Save Our Sailors" and "Send Out Sailors".
Edna Bambrick is the name of an older age woman that often comes to this site with every chance she has. Supposedly, she mostly comes on to report any violations whatsoever on anyone she can. As I heard, the reason why she does it is because she feels as if she is making the Internet safe. After a while, she became the most popular individual (celebrity) on this site because she was the most hated as well. Many people then tried to report on her with any reason[s] they can find whatsoever and I believe they succeeded in it. Yet, it didn't stop there, because her celebrity status continued on within the site, even though she might have been suspended from here. As a comical sense, some people thought it would be humorous to impersonate her on the site by creating screennames with her name as it, also her picture included as well. Not long after, it got out of control, because it sparked the 'Edna Phenomena', whereby many more users followed in-step by replicating the same antics as the original pranksters. This is when many 'Edna imposters'; sprung up all throughout the site, as it continues still, thus creating a cult. Yahoo! had taken the action by suspending as many suspicious Yahoo! Answers accounts that is the sole intent of impersonating Edna. Yahoo! did the same as well with questions pertaining to the subject of Edna. There are many of the 'Edna imposters' remaining somewhere out there parading around while impersonating Edna. Also, it continues that many people who do not know who Edna is, asks about the whole 'Edna phenomena'. That is so far all I know about the whole phenomena.

SOS is the commonly used 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," "Save Our Souls," "Survivors On Ship," "Save Our Sailors" 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. In reality, it has no meaning.
Edna is an insecure guy who wants attention

Save our souls, or save our ship. And Edna would be an ongoing joke on this website that I have no part in.

Contrary to folklore, "SOS" does not stand for "Save Our Ship or "Save Our Souls." The otherwise meaningless string of letters was selected because it is easily recognizable and can be sent rapidly. Comparing SOS (di-di-di-dah-dah-dah-di-di-dit) with the older CQD (dah-di-dah-dit dah-dah-di-dah dah-di-dit) (- · - · / - - · - / - · ·) it is obvious how much simpler the new code is. Also, it would not be mistaken for CQ, which is the radio code for "calling anyone" used in casual circumstances

It really doesn't stand for anything.....it's just that "S" in Morse code is 3 dots and "O" is 3 dashes so if you send out a distress signal alternating the 3 dashes and dots you will be sending "SOS" .......these are the 2 easiest letters to remember.

It's a distress call, or "MAYDAY."
It's a popular misconception that SOS means "Save Our Ship/Souls." The letters don't actually stand for anything
