When Haitians say "sou", they might be talking about money, as in Mwen pa gen yon sou. I don't have a penny.
Sousou (or ti sousou) is a butt-kisser, someone who flatters another usually to get something in return.
As verb we say fè ti sousou → to flatter, to kiss ass
Here's an example of the usage in a sentence:
1.Fanfan ap fè ti sousou dèyè madanm nan. Petèt l'a voye yon zo atè a pou li.
Fanfan is kissing the lady's butt. Maybe she'll throw a bone at him.
