Kos or Cos (English pronunciation: /kɒs/) (Greek: Κως, Greek pronunciation: [kos]) is a Greek island, part of the Dodecanese island chain in the southeastern Aegean Sea, off the Anatolian coast of Turkey. Kos is the third largest of the Dodecanese by area, after Rhodes and Karpathos; it has a population of 33,388 (2011 census), making it the second most populous of the Dodecanese, after Rhodes. The island measures 40 by 8 kilometres (25 by 5 miles), and is 4 km (2 miles) from the coast of the ancient region of Caria in Turkey. Administratively, Kos constitutes a municipality within the Kos regional unit, which is part of the South Aegean region. The principal town of the island and seat of the municipality is Kos town.
The name Kos (Greek: Κῶς, genitive Κῶ) is first attested in the Iliad, and has been in continuous use since. Other ancient names include Meropis, Cea, and Nymphaea.
In many Romance languages, Kos was formerly known as Stancho, Stanchio, or Stinco, and in Ottoman and modern Turkish it is known as İstanköy, all from the Greek expression εις την Κω 'to Kos';cf. the similar Stamboul and Stimpoli, Crete. Under the rule of the Knights Hospitaller of Rhodes, it was known as Lango or Langò, presumably because of its length. In The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, the author misunderstands this, and treats Lango and Kos as distinct islands.
The Slavic word for "blackbird", kos (kosъ, кос) also appears in various toponyms:
Ákos is a Hungarian name. Today, it is mainly a masculine given name.

Não me convidaram
Pra essa festa pobre
Que os homem armaram
Pra me convencer
Apagar sem ver
Toda essa droga
Que já vem malhada
Antes de eu nascer
Não me ofereceram
Nem um cigarro
Fiquei na porta
Estacionando os carros
Não me elegeram
Chefe de nada
O meu cartão de crédito
É uma navalha
Brasil
Mostra tua cara
Quero ver quem paga
Pra gente ficar assim
Brasil
Qual é o teu negócio
O nome do teu sócio
Confia em mim
Não me convidaram
Pra essa festa pobre
Que os homens armaram
Pra me convencer
A pagar sem ver
Toda essa droga
Que já vem molhada
Antes de eu nascer
