I'm assuming you mean used like the following sentence:
"The Yanks won last night... SIKE!" And not: "That guy is a psych majour." |

Psych...Whoever said sike just needs to admit defeat as soon as possible to save face.

I prefer this definition of Sike from the Urban Dictionary:

I grew up thinking it was Sike, only to be shown the light by my smart adult friends.

I've always read it as the 1st, but I'm not a spelling or English major either.

Let's not fight over spelling and just agree that it's the most awesomest word in the whole land. I mean, have you really taken a look at the face of a person when you drop a bombshell "PSYCH!!!" on them? It's arousing.

When I used the word, I thought it was "sike." That was how I saw it spelled as a kid. I haven't used it, or seen it used in writing, since then... so until this thread was started, I just thought it was "sike." |

I wasn't calling you out, I was just wondering why there were 5 people listed as having voted, but only 4 of them counted. I believe Logan cleared it up, though.

I'm actually amazed, I've never even considered that anyone would spell it any other way than 'psych'. Except maybe to put an 'e' on the end.
Of course, considering how the language evolves I'm now forced to confront the knowledge that students will someday be majoring in sikeology.

This is more lopsided than an "Is Kathy Griffin Ugly?" poll.

So seriously, what's the deal with the missing vote? This invalidates all polls ever started on this board. Kodos, you've got some work to do!

Hard to pick a thread winner here... Kodos and Ksyrup are tied for the lead though.

I voted trout because psych!!! is the stupidest "word" ever. I fell prey to peer pressure and said it one time in Junior High, and I've never forgiven myself. And, people who spell it "sike" are only compounding the idiocy. I have spoken. |

Sikes are knock-off shoes that poor kids wear.

I really wanted to register as Dan Quayle to respond to this post (even if he is unfairly persecuted for knowing an alternate spelling that was on the card the teacher handed him...)

I think we need to combine this thread with the Trukz thread. Posts using "sike" and "ramden" need to be in one place.
