It is sometimes MASPHEGI, as in the ACM proceedings I cited,

Proceedings of the 5th Workshop on MechAnisms for SPEcialization,
Generalization and inHerItance.

With or without the terminal 'I' it is an abomination.  I am delighted
that google knows little about it, but there are circles in which it
is now too common.  (There may of course be an inside, coterie joke
embedded in it:  The high artificiality of the choice of 'H' and the
second 'I' from 'inheritance'  for inclusion in an acronym is
suspicious.)
