Fiction fans: what the heck does "RAH" mean? |
|
Sometimes when I check out fiction/lit blogs and articles, there'll be some reference to a "RAH".
Is this an acronym, a nickname, or some kind of sun-god?

In sci-fi, a lot of people abbreviate Robert Heinlein's name that way. n/t |

Just checked out "RAH" and "Heinlein", and that seems to be the match.

5. I guess you're not much of a Heinlein fan |
|
I've never any of his books myself. Although I did watch "Starship Troopers", which was kind of like a soft-porno sci-fi action flick.

And the movie is nothing like the book.
Start with Time Enough For Love.

6. It's Heinlein's initials |
|
He's often referred to as RAH - easier than spelling it all out.

7. Only thing I can tell ya |
|
in reference to fiction, is the movie StarGate, or the television series. RAH is the name of their... Egyptian styled God.
other than that, I have no clue.

9. Hail to the sun god, he is the one god, Rah, Rah, Rah! |
|
Actually that's Ra, but who cares? It was written in Egyptian, anyway, so I can spell it how I wants!
