Sport, Special, Supercharged, or something else?

I know the history of the Mini S, but I would like to know, when people ask you about your MINI S what do you tell them the "S" stands for?

I've heard that the S represents a twisty road, rather than a word. That might be wrong, buts its the coolest explanation I've heard and its what I tell people

I either say "nothing", or just bore thern with the original true story (serves them right for asking).

same here, if they need to know a meaning for a letter then they really don't have any clue about a MINI and its history, so they deserve to be kept in the dark forver or bored
