minus-squareClay_pidgin@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up31·2 months agoWait is that how you spell “sike”? I always assumed it was “psych”, like being psyched out.
minus-squareChris@feddit.ukOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38arrow-down1·2 months agoLooks like this specific meaning of psych can be spelt sike - but not other definitions! Tbh I’d never heard of this meaning in either spelling.
