I wanted to ask about a specific example of an acronym I’ve never heard before and couldn’t find a reference for anywhere- a topic which will probably make this thread an ongoing concern.
So anyway, what is O S A R?
This link I found says it stands for Outreach, Screening, Assessment, and Referral.

Ooo, luncheon with Jeff Bagwell! I’d better reserve my table today!

Ok, I checked with the lil’wrekker. She says it means: “go ask someone else” or “look it up yourself”
YMMV.
ETA: she doesn’t know what the actual letters stand for.
I’ve seen OSMR in a context where “Oh, Yes, Them Are” was what the letters stood for.
Another clue to where that was would be “M R Pigs”
I suspect there’s a thread hereabouts that may have an entire “conversation” made up
of just letters.
LIB MR Pigs – was the punchline!
FWIW, I posted on a blog thread a comment of “Sum peepul is so iggorunt”, and “O S A R!” was the response.
Something similar by dad taught me when I was a kid:
ABCD poppies?
LMNO poppies!
SAR
Should have given that in the OP. It clearly means “Oh yes they are” to me.

Or the last words of someone who’s crossed into the oncoming lane into the path of a semi/
OK, that took me awhile, but:
Have you any ham?
Yes, we have ham.
Have you any eggs?
Yes, we have eggs.
OK, I’ll have ham and eggs
Is the irony in the topic line deliberate?
I think we need more context to answer the OP. Is it “Odessa State Academy of Refrigeration” or “Office Suisse d’Aide aux Réfugies”? (Those were the top two answers on a Google search!)
(Congrats, Lumpy, btw, to your decryption, which seems internally consistent, but totally would have defied my logic!) 
My searches led me to cites about a Benny Hill skit that were the clue.
It was after I started the thread that the meta potential occurred to me. 
I wonder if that came before or after the Two Ronnies sketch “Swedish made simple” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vMsCEWbd-A) referenced by Johanna?
Yes, so many here seem to share my understanding of O S A R, as in
c d e t b t snakes?
