What does SOX mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
Socks, in a spelling used chiefly in trade names and in sport.
Sox is a deliberate misspelling that stuck: it saves a letter, and shortness matters on a scoreboard and on a package. Two American baseball clubs carry it in their names, and outside those the spelling belongs to shops rather than to sentences.
