          So I’m actually right but for the wrong reasons, a sike is a small stream.

            Yeah, to psych someone out was to mentally trick them. Was going to say Gen x made a TV show called Psych, but I never watched it so I’m not sure that the name corelates here

            Oddly enough I don’t think he was talking about a stream in this comic

      Sike is on dictionary.com so its really up to the individual if “sike” or “psych” is the correct spelling

        sike a less common spelling variant of psych.

        That’s dictionary.Com politely saying that enough people misspell it that they’ll felt compelled to put it here. If your definition points to the real spelling, it’s not really “up to the individual” which is the correct one.

          That’s dictionary.com pointing out that it is now in common enoudh use to be a word. English isn’t French, we don’t have a language police that comes to chop off your head if you use a newer spelling, and I don’t think we should either. Sike is correct now.
