From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   S \S\ ([ecr]s),
      the nineteenth letter of the English alphabet, is a
      consonant, and is often called a sibilant, in allusion to its
      hissing sound. It has two principal sounds; one a mere
      hissing, as in sack, this; the other a vocal hissing (the
      same as that of z), as in is, wise. Besides these it
      sometimes has the sounds of sh and zh, as in sure, measure.
      It generally has its hissing sound at the beginning of words,
      but in the middle and at the end of words its sound is
      determined by usage. In a few words it is silent, as in isle,
      d[82]bris. With the letter h it forms the digraph sh. See
      Guide to pronunciation, [sect][sect] 255-261.
  
      Note: Both the form and the name of the letter S are derived
               from the Latin, which got the letter through the Greek
               from the Ph[91]nician. The ultimate origin is Egyptian.
               S is etymologically most nearly related to c, z, t, and
               r; as, in ice, OE. is; E. hence, OE. hennes; E. rase,
               raze; erase, razor; that, G. das; E. reason, F. raison,
               L. ratio; E. was, were; chair, chaise (see C, Z, T, and
               R.).

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   s///
  
      s/{foo}/{bar}/ is an idiom which means "I didn't mean
      to type 'foo', I meant to type 'bar'".
  
      Its use in {talk} systems, especially {irc}, comes from the
      use of s/// as a substitution operator in {Perl}, {sed} and
      {ed}.   In these languages and tools, s/foo/bar/ would replace
      any substring matching the {regular expression} "foo" with the
      string "bar".
