    People who spell it “sike” probably aren’t intelligent enough to attempt to use those other words.

      I’m pretty sure “sike” is how it was often spelled in the 80s and 90s. So maybe they’re just “old.”

        I’m old; it wasn’t.

          I’m old, too, and it absolutely was because I’ve never once seen it spelled “psych.”

              I could say the same, but perhaps you need to get out more. It would do wonders for your personality.

      Boo! Vocabulary isn’t intelligence, nor is it a proxy for one.

      If you think of it, using the abbreviation ‘psych’ to say ‘psyched’ and to mean you think you have shocked the interlocutor with an intricate joke, isn’t the best use of the word either.

      Etymologically it might make more sense as sike because it makes little sense either way, so why pretend?
