Ra (slang) and Rah are clearly on the same subject. Neither article is at all well written, but merging the two and picking the "best" bits of each might help. DWaterson 20:20, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I've merged the two articles and added a little. Hopefully this is now a quarter-way to being a mediocre article. Please remove innaccurate stereotypes (as in stereotypes that do not exist, not stereotypes that do not conform to reality) and any bias you can find. Polocrunch 01:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I was a student at St.Andrews University in the mid 1980s and a term which was applied to a similar demographic was the 'Yah'. This term was applied to people fitting under the 'Rah' definition and also those that might be called 'Sloane Rangers'. The term clearly came from their pronunciation of the affirmative 'yes' as 'yah'. I think such people are often to be heard braying yah or rah, the expansive 'ah' indicating their high status and control of the situation.
