定義: A code-mixing term used by Fake ABC Hong Kongers to emphasize the intensity of something by elongating the vowel 'o' in 'so'.

用法: E.g. 如果你見到有個ABC開口埋口 "I AM SOOOOO SORRY" "I AM SOOOOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU" "THE FOOD IS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD" 你就識得分真偽ABC (If you come across an American-Born Chinese who keeps saying things like "I AM SOOOOO SORRY," "I AM SOOOOOOOO HAPPY TO SEE YOU," or "THE FOOD IS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD," you’ll be able to tell whether they are real or fake ABC.)
