WOS is an acronym that stands for "wife over shoulder" and is typically seen online or in text messages. The acronym is used to warn the person(s) on the other end of the conversation that the sender's wife is present and looking at the phone or computer screen.
Typically, only conniving partners use WOS because it means that they're keeping secrets from their wives. However, it is sometimes used for good reasons, like when planning a surprise party or gift for the wife. WOS is a more specific version of SOS and the counterpart to HOS.
