Settle a Debate

[Pyser]

correct spelling, please?

poll coming.

[Pyser]

dola, as in

my raiders are looking good this preseason. sike/psych!

[SnDvls]

nevermind you just did it

[MikeVic]

I'm assuming you mean used like the following sentence:
"The Yanks won last night... SIKE!"

And not:
"That guy is a psych majour."

[Karlifornia]

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

[Ksyrup]

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 swear "sike" is how I've seen it spelled when used how Pyser is describing.

[SnDvls]

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

[MikeVic]

Maybe that's it... I saw it written like that as a kid. I don't think I've used the word since... junior high? So it's always been "sike" to me.

[Draft Dodger]

psych or even psyche - short for psych out. sike is for idiots.

[Logan]

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.

[Kodos]

I think "sike" is the correct spelling... PSYCH!!!

[Young Drachma]

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. :D

[Passacaglia]

There are five voters...SIKE!!!

Wow I didn't notice tha-

Hey! :o

kids...

hahahahaha

[Fidatelo]

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.

[Ksyrup]

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

[MikeVic]

Don't make me post the picture of her in panties again.

[Maple Leafs]

Why are people still voting "trout" in these things?

[JediKooter]

Wheres the 'syke' choice?

[AZSpeechCoach]

There are five voters...PSYCH!!!

Fixed :D

[Ksyrup]

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!

[Crim]

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

[Crim]

Why are people still voting "trout" in these things?

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.

[Crim]

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

I see where you're going with this, and I cannot accept your premise. I'd wear that ass out!

[Mustang]

Psych.

Sikes are knock-off shoes that poor kids wear.

Hahaha. When I saw the word "sike" I read it as I would read Nike... it just doesn't work.

[Pyser]

i guess i was wrong.

but on the playground, i still maintain its sike.

[Brillig]

Maybe if it's the special needs playground.

I just instinctively and visibly shuddered.

[gstelmack]

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...)

You spell on the playground?

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

[Grammaticus]

Sike just makes me think of Sake. Then I want some sushi.
