You probably could own a RAH, if you happened to be said 'daddy' that fed such RAH with the designated silver spoon.

But saying as im 17, with no children, and no money to feed my non existant child with nor do i even own a silver spoon ... it is impossible for ME to own a rah :biggrin:

If you're a male Rah you'll wear a polo shirt with the collar upturned. You also might wear boat shoes. You'll probably be Southern too.
Edit: I am not having a go at Southerners, merely stating that the majority of Rahs live in the South. I myself am from the South, and am not a Rah.

Male rahs like female rahs tend to be up themselves too!

The most obnoxious ones also tend to have gone to an independent school(now i know that covers everything from ex grammar schools to boarding schools) but from my experience you don't get many rahs from state schools. It is a thing of class to a certain extent..... although i have many friends who went to independent schools and do not act like rahs and because of this i don't see them as rahs.

As for those arguing that Hols is generalising things a bit on the clothing aspect, unfortunately rahs to tend to wear this type of stuff-and one very important thing she has left out is that they love the 'gilet'(which is a puffy type of waistcoat that looks really silly). Rahs tend to go around in groups so it is very easy to spot them.

it seems to me that its the 'non-rahs' who make it such a big issue, when it really isnt. just accept people for who they are...not what they wear or how much money their parents earn!!!!

What Jocks are to sport, rahs are to money. Simple.
