SoCo is Austinite slang for South Congress, a street emanating from the southerly main entrance of the Texan state capitol building, becoming "South," Congress once it passes over the Congress Avenue Bridge, under which lives one of the largest urban bat colonies in the world. SoCo is riddled with trendy thrift, jewelry and "vintage," clothing stores amidst several restaurants more famous for their people-watching interior designs than the TexMex cuisine they, for the most part, serve.
Anchored by The Continental Club, a rockabilly joint known around the Fertile Crescent for being overly cramped, short of dancefloor space, yet inexplicably magnetic in its insidiously implanted desire to commit acts of inebriated debauchery, public licentiousness and poor attempts at two-stepping, SoCo attracts more and more each year to its decadent throng, lending credence to the viability of the bumpersticker slogan found throughout South Austin, "South Austin, Secede!"

A random Austinite and his friend are talking on the phone.
Person A asks,
"Where're you headed tonight, brah?"
Person B, a recent transplant from the hills of Pennsylvania, living in the '04, thinking himself all-too-hip, answers,
"SoCo, of course! It's First Thursday. Plus, Guy Forsyth is opening up for Flametrick Subs at The Continental Club. Comin' with?"

Horrible slang for a rinky-dink little cow poke town (aka Southern Cayuga). If everyone you know lives in houses with wheels or your cousin is starting to look attractive, your in "SoCo." The only place worse in the world is Union Springs

abbreviation for "Stranger on Co-Pilot". When you are dropping a load in a public restroom and some other person decides to get in the stall right next door and do the same...a stranger on co-pilot.
"Man I had to drop a load at Target today and some dude decides to soco next door. I hate it when that happens!"
