Sci is short for Science. It is usually accompanied by Fi , as in Sci-Fi and is a shorthand term for Science-Fiction
Forrest J. Ackerman used the term "sci-fi" at UCLA in 1954, This is believed to be the first use of the term, but I cannot be certain.
We just watched Prometheus which was rated R for sci-fi violence. We wondered what exactly the term meant as well, but think it perhaps has to do with the creatures or blood involved. Perhaps the violence not resulting in red blood is considered "sci-fi". Maybe it's that the violence is between aliens and humans (as opposed to human vs human). I'd love a better answer, but that's what we came up with.
