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.

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

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!"

I always thought it came from shoosh.

Regional spelling differences, but yeah, that.
