I apologize. I must show my ignorance. What does “SOF” mean?
I see the term used pretty often but have not seen it spelled out. I also have been unable to divine its meaning through context.
I know “SOT” is “Sit-on-top” and “SINK” is “Sit-in Kayak” or something similar. But what the heck is a SOF?
Thanks,

no no no
Its Solder of fortune…
Is it really an Acronym?
It is if you prounounce it “soff”, but if you spell it out “S-O-F” it’s not an acronym, it’s an abbreviation.

It’s the motto of a kayak club I intend to start some day: the Fraternal Union of Coastal Kayakers.
Initially many abbreviative terms…
only defy definitive study (IMATODDS), but on closer considerative inspection (BOCCI) one has a ball organizing acronymous thought (OHABOAT).
Or not.
But, you take that young SOF as a Soldier-of-Fortune in for some new out-fiiting, and you go visit that Moil over on the P-net observational incite thread, knife insured delivery (MOOTPOINTKID), giving that moil offers of wine inducements to operate fast and furiously (MOWITOFF), and suddenly (perhaps loudly, too) you have neither a Soldier-of-Fortune (SOME is more like it, for Soldier-of-Misfortunate-Event) nor a skin-on-frame.
Well, whadda I know, I’m just silly old Tom (SOT).
By the way, I still can’t seem to find the official spelling for “moil.” But, since “moil” is defined as confusion, turmoil, slave, to toil in turmoil, and moyle or moile is defined as a kind of high shoe anciently worn, I think the shoe is not on any foot right or wrong, and we’re likely gettin’ to the pointlessness of matters.
Thanks, too!
I was wondering what that meant…

When I’m stumped by an acronym I go to:

Acronym finder lists 22 definitions for SOF … and not one of them is Skin On Frame! WUWT?
