POS
Register system acronym
POS stands for point of sale, the location and system where retail transactions occur—the checkout counter, cash register, and associated software: We need to upgrade our POS terminals.
In internet slang, POS is a dismissive acronym for piece of shit, applied to objects or people: That car is a total POS.
Context usually makes the meaning clear. (Lowercase pos is informal for positive.)
