R 'n R = Rest and Relaxation
Go find a hammock, a tall glass of lemonade and relax. I think this phrase was popularized by the military ("Permission to go and get some R and R, sir!" "Denied! Finish digging this latrine, maggot!" etc.), but I could be wrong...

R&R is originally a US army term, it officially meant "rest and recuperation"
It came into popular useage soon after the Vietnam War, when soldiers who had been fighting for many months were sent on short "R&R" leave away from the battle front in order to try and refresh themselves before being sent back.

Most people think it is rest and relaxation, it is in fact rest and recuperation, and was used as a medical term for what is now known of as rehab for injuries.

Rest and Relaxation
(of course in middle school, it was Read and Response but I'm sure that's irrelevant at this point)
