It means Supported Opinion. I still don't get half of the metaphors...
thistakestoolong
Well, you're not wrong. It really do be like dat sometimes.

Significant Otter
jedionslaught
I too, and it didn't help that the first instance of SO was about an army base.
ActuallyMyNamesMarina
I'm not even a military person and I always think this at first.
CapoOn2nd
Exactly, I was so confused
isthatabeetsalad
Notably, i initially was confused as well, as S.O. means “Sex Offender” in my field
CapoOn2nd
That’s even worse haha
iAmJantelagen
? ? ?

Oh we definitely are.

if I had a nood for every time this meme was misused...
JasonDoodle
I'm a hockey fan and thought "congrats on the shutout"
IDidNotHitHer
I thought it stood for 'Sexy Onion', am I mistaken?
skwint
Sex Object? Servicable Orifice?

Well... They are.

I HATE when ppl use "SO" in memefont (everything is capitalized so it's hard to even notice). If using an abbreviation, use periods "S.O."
CrazyCatLad
I used to hate it because I thought it was lazy but now I always use GF or BF on here because it saves characters.
IwantedAreallyLongUserNameBecauseEveryoneElseHasOne
You're not alone. I did the same thing for awhile.
BautaStein
So if its not that, what is it ?... Asking for a friend
CapoOn2nd
Significant other haha. Glad I’m not the only one
EmporerDragon
It's fun when the acronym has several uses, like when Star Wars fans talk about the EU or CIS characters.
cre8majic
lol= little old lady, it can be hilarious

What does SO mean? As a non native i'm a bit confused
JustAnotherPOG
Significant other, which could mean spouse, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc.
Mumalot
SignificantOther can refer to Dad, Mom, Bro/Sis "a person who is important to one's well-being". Most ppl use it ONLY for BF/GF/Wife/Hubby.
Verschlimmbesserung
Thank you
CapoOn2nd
Significant other is it’s actual meaning
AnusReadyToBeRavaged
Maybe there's a reason you're in the military... We aren't the brightest.
CapoOn2nd
Funny thing is, I’m not in the military
AnusReadyToBeRavaged
Well, there goes my joke.
somanywonders987
the post doesn't say it so I will. it stands for significant other.
zmanz
I thought sex offender
Jessicageekwhogames
Thank you very much
Marowen
No it stands for senior officer.
bliblablu350
I always thought it stands for spouse and wondered about that fucked up abbreviation
zenule
so you have someone significant and some other significant? does that mean it is the person you are having an affair with?
Appollon
"Other" here is referring to someone other than yourself. Only one "other" can be significant to you.
somanywonders987
nah, it's just a gender neutral term for someone you're in a relationship with but not married too. like, boyfriend or girlfriend.
TheHighCourt
The person is significant to you in a romantic way / relationship
Ziwehox
Thank you! I even tried to Google it a couple of times but i guess my googling skills suck.

Good shout, maybe I should of put that in the post. My bad
HobNobBob
Well I suppose it would make sense from your perspective if you were in the army. And could read.
Tossmeawaylikearag
Wait, they let you read in the military?
MagnorCriol
Only a few people. Someone’s gotta pass orders along.
Mersenaire
Funny because the military is disproportionately better educated than the rest of the general population
MrAppendixX
That’s unpossible
DrKriegersClone
Doesn't the subsidized college come after discharge? Except for officers I guess?
Repostradamus
We get tuition assistance while we're in and getting an education is highly encouraged. A lot of enlisted people have bachelor's degrees.
DrKriegersClone
Doing school concurrent with full time service must be a tough balancing act.
ScrewMyVacationPlansIGuess
Plus, at least in the Air Force, your technical training contributes to an associates degree
JustAnotherPOG
Hell, a solid portion of senior enlisted have master's degrees.
tempestas
The military are a horny bunch of rascals.
DoctorAculaPhD
I was going to say... You weren't wrong
Xenarion
Humans are a horny bunch of rascals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_assault_in_the_United_States_military true dat.
somanywonders987
lots of downvotes. no one saying anything. there's a lot of rape in the military.
hondzik
Its crazy how prevalent sexual assault in US military is.
espressoandpostrock
It's changing, thankfully. The number of reports is going up because it's being encouraged to do so
somanywonders987
and how it's so taboo to talk about. unless you can beat the shit out of your own CO, being a woman in the military feels crazy dangerous.
WeedoForFreedom
And dumb I'm starving over here where ma sammich
ReJokeStatistics
In theory, a female servicemember could defend herself against an attack by her CO. Absent witnesses though, it becomes he said/she 1/2
