S.O.D. ("Stormtroopers of Death") - a heavy metal side-project band formed by two members of Anthrax (Charlie Benate - drums, Scott Ian - guitar), Anthrax's roadie Billy Milano on vocals, and Dan Lilker (originally a member of Anthrax, but better known from the band Nuclear Assult).
The band recorded the album "Speak English or Die" in 1985, during a gap in Anthrax's schedule. It was essentially meant to be a novelty record, with the band planned as being a one-time side project. The album was notorious for its few outright sexist and racist themes, blue humor, plus songs that were hilariously short (the last track being "Diamonds And Rust (extended version)", which is literally two seconds long). Billy Milano would eventually form M.O.D. (Method of Destruction) his own band in a similar metal novelty vein.
However, S.O.D. achieved an unexpected cult following, and many have cited the album as being a historical bridge between the genres of hardcore punk and speed metal. The band reunited in 1992 and again in 1997, before finally recording an album of new material in 1999.

S.O.D. patches and t-shirts were not an uncommon site among metal fans in the 1980s, despite the fact that the band only had made one album at the time.

Definition for people who insist they're not one of the TWO genders : SOME OTHER DESIGNATION; Losers....
" Those SODS thinks they're some other pronoun" - what a couple dumb ass SODS
"why doesn't someone slap those SODS"? - there's only TWO genders, you losers

Screen of Death - Often used when talking about touch-screen devices. After the screen has gone into "sleep" or been turned off, refuses to turn back on. A reebot of the device is often the only solution to wake it again.
I'm running my phone @ 1.6 OC with a custom kernel, Prime 1.3. I keep getting SoD! It's not stable at that overclock, yet.
