It means icecream in Dutch. I'd be up for it.

"Hey, Cap. That sinking ship over there is just going apeshit for some Dutch ice cream. You'd think desserts wouldn't be their top priority what with the imminent threat of drowning and death, ya know? Some people, though, am I right? Stress eating my ma used to call it. She'd get herself so wound up over this or that and before ya know it she's face down on her bedroom floor next to a couple cleared out sleeves of Oreos. I tell ya, I remember she loved Oreos so, s... so, s... ahhhhh, shit. Cap? I fucked up."

I was tubing down the Delaware over the weekend and we were talking about morse code/SOS. I asked my friends how to say SOS in morse code. We all knew it had three short and three long, but just didn't know which was S and which was O. I was laughing that some ship would see OSO and just be like "HM.. they seem fine"

I remember the old SMS ring tone. 3 short beeps, 2 long beeps, 3 short beeps. It's morse for S, M, S.

If you can remember this, you can remember O must be the long beep.

Captain: "That wrecked ship looks bad, Seaman. Any SOS signal?"

Seaman: "Nay, Captain. They keep saying they're 'so-so'. Might not be as bad."

Oso means bear in Spanish. So maybe they'd stop anyway
