Of biological background, Ras refers to a monomeric, oncogenic guanine nucleotide binding protein (G-protein) associated with the cell membrane of essentially all eukaryotic cells. When activated by binding of a pro-proliferative extracellular ligand to its cellular receptor, Ras releases its guanosine diphosphate in exchange for guanosine triphosphate, thus activating it. It then propagates the proliferation activation signal through a MAP-kinase dependent pathway causing altered gene expression giving rise to the onset of the cell cycle.

someone (usually girls aged mid-teens) who get excited over the slightest thing, get placebo-drunk, talk at you not to you, overuse the words: 'random', 'totally', and 'oh my god'. These people usually travel in packs of about 5-10, wearing almost identical clothing to each other. If for some warped reason you wish to seek these people out, just follow the sounds of high pitched over-excited screams.
"Hey, you wanna come to a field party"
"No ta, there'll be too many ra ra randoms, i'm off to the pub"

A ra is an English girl from a posh, wealthy background who feel the need to dress like a mess whilst showing off their designer clothing. Two examples of their usual get up are:
1) The "just got out of bed" look - hair that's been painstakingly 'tousled' and knotted for at lest two hours, the obligatory university or Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie, and jogging bottoms or pyjama bottoms (if on the way to the shops) tucked into the obligatory Ugg boots.
2) The "ooo I'm such a hippy chick" look - the tousled, knotted hair complete with plaited headband, massive men's shirt cinched in at the waist with a belt, leggings in a variety of shades and gross colours, and of course the Ugg boots.
Ra's are most commonly found speaking with lisps and like they've got plums in their in their mouths in the majority of University cities of the UK, particularly Oxford, Leeds, Durham and Bristol, as well as Topshop's nationwide.
Scenesters will also try and get in on the act to try and be ra's

P1: "Jesus, I can't believe she's going down to the shops in her pj's."
P2: "I can, she's a ra."
P1: "Oh that explains it all then."

Ras stands for Ruthie awesomeness syndrome.
Originally made up to annoy an ex. But has caught on and is used in the same way as- cool, awesome or brilliant.
