Special Military Operation

It's an operation began by Vladolf Putler and its goal is to save the innocent washing machines from the persecution of the Ukrainian Nazis. If Russia didn't have an obsession with cleanliness, the special laundry operation would never have happened.

Special military operation is an honest Russian euphemism for a war of aggression.

special investigation branch

The undercover investigative element of the British Royal Military Police. An organisation that is supposed to blend into the wider military community to mirror the effect that CID provide to civil police. In reality it is populated by a bunch of barely literate mouth breathers who spend all day taking screenshots of Facebook and being outsmarted by even the slowest witted squaddie. Most likely military group to be Swingers.

In Special Investigation Branch office:
SIB: "Look sunshine, we know you did it, confess or else"
Perp: "I didn't do it"
SIB: "Oh, you sure? Well, you'd better get out of here, we'll be watching you"
Perp: "L8rs"

special hell

A place reserved for child molestors, those who talk at the theater, and who cancel short running yet shiny TV series. See Firefly.

If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater... remember, a special hell - Shepherd Book

Special Ed

Where disabled students are treated like 4 year olds, usually turning them into complete idiots who can't do shit.

Dude 1: I was in special ed in high school for being just a little retarded.
Dude 2: So that's why you say stupid shit all the time.

Special Education

A.K.A. Hell on Earth. Special education is designed for students with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and other special needs to have guidance throughout school. What special ed really does is take really smart good spirited kids and put them down and make them feel like shit. There’s a whole separate room for special ed kids called “resource room”. Which is the worst period of the day. All the “normal” kids walk by and stare at you to make things worse. If that isn’t embarrassing enough, no teacher takes anything you say into consideration and talks to you like you’re a preschooler. They think that just because you learn slower, that you’re stupid as hell. And if you decide you don’t want to be in special education anymore, you’re in for a rough battle. Teachers will fight you to stay in, to the point where you give up just because none of the idiots from your school listen to what you know is best for you. Want to have a stable social life with other kids in school? You can say goodbye to that thanks to being in special ed classes. Even other students think of you like you are a dumbass.

(Special Education)
Student: I need to get out of these special ed classes, they have no positive impact on my GPA.
School: Well we see why you might think that, but actually they do help you.
Student: Loses his/her shit and gets suspended
School: See, you need these classes for behavioral issues.
