FOS

1. What does FOS stand for?

Full of s***

Censored

Someone who thinks you're FOS thinks you're "full of s***." This acronym is used to call out people who are lying or ignorant.

S*** is a vulgar synonym for "feces." As slang, s*** is also used to mean "lies" (implying your words are comparable to s***). If someone says you're FOS, they think you are lying incessantly - either on purpose or out of ignorance.

FOS can also be used to call out exaggerations. For example, if your friend says they caught fifteen three-foot bass yesterday, you can pretty safely respond with "You're FOS."

Example

Brandon's absolutely FOS. No way he opened a foil Charizard

2. What does FOS stand for in online chat?

Feat of strength

When discussing tasks that require might or stamina, FOS stands for "feat of strength." You're most likely to encounter this acronym in gaming chat, when a gamer is discussing a task that will require all their power and skill to complete.

However, you might also encounter FOS in regular online chat sessions, when chatting with someone who just accomplished a difficult task. That person may refer to completing their task as a FOS.

Example

It was quite the FOS to babysit all four of their kids last Friday night!
But I'm sure they enjoyed the night to themselves
