Acronym for Suck Off Your Dad. Often used on platforms where you can get banned for saying obscenities (e.g. Facebook, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, etc.)
The Silicon Valley/ Seattle based soy latte drinking hipster you see at the coffee shop, coding NodeJS on his macbook pro. He only uses a bloated IDE and is too beta to ever touch Vim. This creature will justify his use of a macbook by saying that "it's UNIX based" but at the same time will defend not having a linux machine due to some nonsense reason. GUI everything; it makes him feel safe. #1 aspiration in life is to work for FAANG and will consume any disgusting product or service they sell.
