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.

RAS is the english version of the Korean inside joke in I-LAND (now debut group ENHYPEN).
In Korean, the word RAS in romanised Korean is "wonbunsu".
RAS meaning: Resentment, Anger and Shame.
This joke started from I-LAND trainee, Jay, when in episode 2 of I-LAND he kept on raising his hand for a part, and that was until he got part 8.
Jay has many RAS moments ,from episode 2 of I-LAND, the scene of picking parts embarrassing himself, to episode 7 of I-LAND, crying because 6 trainees from the I-LAND had to move down to the GROUND.
This inside joke is very popular among the trainees. In episode 11, part 2 of I-LAND they were giving roles for who was going to do what for cleaning. Heeseung (another trainee that ended up debuting in ENHPYEN) recommended Jay to wipe the windows because of his RAS moment in episode 7 of I-LAND part 1.
*In the conversation below Eggie is the fandom name for people who watched I-LAND. An egg was one of the main structures in the I-LAND.

Jay: I have so many RAS moments.
New eggie: RAS? What is that?
Jay: Resentment, anger, shame. Technically, regret. For example in that one episode I cried when trainees were leaving the I-LAND. I don't think I looked too good. Especially with Jungwon (another trainee that ended up debuting in ENHYPEN) next to me looking so beautiful even when crying.
