What does SOB mean?

I've seen the term "SOB" in a number of posts. Of course I know what the "standard" definition is. However, SOB, as it is used on the AS forum seems describe those "other" trailers. You know, the ones with the visual appeal of a storage shed and the interior decor of a Super8 motel. What does it stand for. There needs to be an acronym FAQ for us newbies.

(except that TV now means tow vehicle instead of television)

Same old box

when we first started shoping for an AS - and started spending a lot of time on this forum - we assumed it meant Same Old Box... which we still prefer.

It was either a pink umbrella drink or something we can't discuss here on the forums! But I think it's SOTB ~
