Airport codes are great abbreviations world wide, imho or imnsho.
Sorry the SFO'ers are the only naysayers.

The one that took forever for me to figure out was OT. Now I know it is for "off topic".

Howdy Sam,

SOB = Short of Breath

Used lots in health care. Now that patients have the option to read their own charts (hurray!), I hope they don't think it means anything else!

Not used so much here, but you'll see them on other travel boards:

TA: Travel agent.
FA: flight attendant
GA: Gate agent.

SO = mi novia/su novio = "significant other" as I am too old to refer to GF (girl friend(s) and she to BF (boy friend(s).
Los abuelos (grandparents) use novio(a) here and it even sounds a bit romantic, lol.

YMMV - your mileage may vary. Used to indicate that while something works for some people it may not work for others or success depends on the situation.
