"shibboleth" in pop media

[Borja, Matt]

It comes from Judges 12:5-6 where we see one of the earliest forms of authentication, hence "Shibboleth" is a fitting name for this product.

"And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."

These days, we just say "Access Denied." :)

    who said "sib" instead of "shib" were slaughtered
