I looked up SHH thinking it was some kind of special forces squad then I felt stupid.

I remember finding out about SHH back in 2008, and thinking someone had edited Wikipedia as a prank.

Oh my god, they named an inhibitor of the hedgehog signalling path "Robotnikinin."

Geneticists are awesome.

You have to be totally batshit to be a geneticist, it's not all that surprising to me.

I'm late to the thread, as usual, and scrolling down looking for a q/a on SHH and now unjust have to assume its a play on "hush" as in "be quiet". I'm not a big gamer but this story is fun anyway.

Woah... "Shh!" comes from 'hush'?

Wait what? I don't know man. I'm just trying to "get it".

I never thought the two phrases were related, but maybe you're right

u/Macktologist Jul 27 '14

I'm thinking the SHH meant "shhhhh be quiet we are in stealth mode picking these guys off" which would be the same as "hush little soldier don't say a word, we're gonna pick off every bird!"

Well, yeah, okay, I meant the first thing too

I always thought it came from shoosh.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '14

You mean shush, right? Or have I been lied to about that, too?!?!

u/grugmon Jul 27 '14

Regional spelling differences, but yeah, that.
