Fiction fans: what the heck does "RAH" mean?

[brentspeak]

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?

:shrug:

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

4. Yup, that must be it.

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

2. Uhm.. Yes?

For some you will find its all of the above.

Robert A. Heinlein

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.

8. Really? He was great.

And the movie is nothing like the book.

Start with Time Enough For Love.

10. AKA

Ken and Barbie go to space.

No, I didn't care for the movie much.

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!
