Raed

An eternal leader in the 16th century known to be as a "joker". It is not that much of a popular name but it is believed that anyone with the name of "Raed" is a funny, handsome and very romantic person. Despite might being slightly childish or even hyperactive.

Girl 1: Look at how Raed he is!
Girl 2: ooo yeahh I can tell...

ra

ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar
But the kazachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son

Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
But when his drinking and lusting
And his hunger for power
Became known to more and more people
The demands to do something
About this outrageous man
Became louder and louder

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
"This man's just got to go", declared his enemies
But the ladies begged, "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute, they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us", they kept demanding
And he really came

Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and said, "I feel fine"
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him 'til he was dead

The RA

Short for IRA, meaning Irish Republican Army; An Irish paramilitary organisation located in Ireland, primarily in Northern Ireland during the early and late 20th century. The British and Irish Unionists in Northern Ireland (mostly protestants) view them as a terrorist group, where as the majority in Ireland, both in the Republic of Ireland and the Irish in Northern Ireland regard them as freedom fighters. The term is widely used in Irish catholic areas in Northern Ireland, as well as used throughout the rest of Ireland. It is used out of a familiarity with the organisation.

Two major Irish paramilitary-rebels used "IRA". The first being for the Irish revolution in the 1920s, which was mostly successful, but also got Ireland divided.

Then a later organisation during "The Troubles" conflict of the 70-90s in Northern Ireland. This conflict is the more widely known by the modern day brit even though its the less significant of the two conflicts. This conflict came about due to the mass discrimination against the Irish natives in northern Ireland by unionist protestant colonials, due to Ireland's division giving this radical small population a platform to discriminate. Things later spiraled out of control as all wars do, and the IRA split into fractions. The PIRA (Provisional IRA) conducted a mass bombing campaign in England, were as the IRA did not.

"Johny used to be in the RA", "The RA got him", "Ooh ahh up the RA, say ooh ahh up the RA"
