It's just a distress signal. The words were added later.

My understanding is that it doesn't actually stand for anything, it was just chosen as a distress signal because it was easy to send via morse code.

It stands for: "Save Our Seamen", "Save our Ship", "Survivors On Shore" or "Save Our Souls"

Nothing. Its just simple to type in morse code (3 dots, 3 slashes, 3 dots, or the other way around, but I think this is right).

It doesn't mean anything. It's just easy to tap out in morse code.

Actually, SOS doesn't mean anything of importance...CQD is the actual distress signal acronym meaning Come Quick Danger
