The Special Air Service (SAS) is a special forces unit of the British Army. In 1941, the SAS was founded as a regiment, and in 1950, it was reconstituted as a corps.The unit specialises in a number of roles including counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, direct action and covert reconnaissance. Much of the information about the SAS is highly classified, and the unit is not commented on by either the British government or the Ministry of Defence due to the secrecy and sensitivity of its operations.
The corps currently consists of the 22 Special Air Service Regiment, the regular component, as well as the 21 Special Air Service Regiment (Artists) (Reserve) and the 23 Special Air Service Regiment (Reserve), which are reserve units, all under the operational command of United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF). Its sister unit is the Royal Navy's Special Boat Service which specialises in maritime counter-terrorism. Both units are under the operational control of the Director Special Forces.
The Special Air Service traces its origins to 1941 and the Second World War. It was reformed as part of the Territorial Army in 1947, named the 21st Special Air Service Regiment (Artists Rifles). The 22nd Special Air Service Regiment, which is part of the regular army, gained fame and recognition worldwide after its televised rescue of all but two of the hostages held during the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege.

Get the Sas mug."Sa mori tu" is a romanian expression that means "no way", but directly translated to "will you die". It is used as an exclamation for something that is shocking and you don't believe it's true even if it actually is. It can also be accompanied by the word "coaie".
Person A: "You won't believe what happened! My friend hooked up with her hot neighbor."
Person B: "Sa mori tu, coaie!... I can't believe she would do that."
Person B: "Sa mori tu, coaie!... I can't believe she would do that."

Get the burek sa mesom mug.a school with depressed people who don't feel happiness as soon as they walk in. It's not their fault tho, as their youthful souls get sucked out for the enjoyment of the education system that promises that this will all be worth it in the future as they pull 50 all nighters and are slowly decay as their bodies return to the hollow earth where they came from. It would be hell on earth if it wasn't for the fact that hell punishes people's sins and sas just kicks you out for being 2 minutes late for class. If you're thinking about going to sas, just know that the ghost of the students will haunt you during lunch and you will not be given any salt.
