When i first came here, all these abbreviations really confused me too. So i googled and found this site Acronym and abbreviation dictionary: Find out what over 3,016,000 abbreviations, acronyms, and initialisms stand for They have abbreviations for everything

Hope it helps everyone too.

SO could also mean "special order", depending on the context. I *wish* I had the chance to post about my new SO (but I don't have one yet)!
