An example of jargon

Last night, I was talking with a friend of mine about Holocaust literature (The Diary of Anne Frank, Night, The Book Theif, The Storyteller, etc.).  That turned into a conversation about what we would do if we were in any of the character's shoes, specifically Anne Frank when the S.S. officers came knocking on the Annex door.

 Then, this morning, I was getting a few items out of my school mailbox when some yummy-looking caramel cream coffee fell out with a sticky note that said "Stay Warm..  Your S.S."  It took me a second to realize this S.S. meant Secret Santa!
