What does SOZ mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informalBritish
A casual way of saying sorry.
Soz is an apology that admits it is not much of one: it works in a text message and fails in a letter, and the gap between the two is the whole meaning. It came out of British youth speech in the 1990s and stayed there, which is why it sounds wrong in the mouth of anyone over forty.
