Going back to the 1990s, I’m pretty sure we all spelled it “psych,” just the same as in the similar expression “psych out.” That said, I have no doubt there were different spellings in different places.
Unfortunately, we all did not spell it that way. It was misspelled so often that “sike” became the common spelling. I don’t think most people knew the origins of the term.
No I was thinking internet slang. honestly I remember sike as more an 80’s thing but the decades. they begin to blur. my brain does things like confusing sic and /s so its a pretty normal thing for me. hopefully i remember it right in future but one thing that is annoying for me is if I learn something, even on my own, badly. I tend to have a hard time not doing it wrong.
I think you’re thinking of sike, which was common slang in the 90s. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sike

Obviously “Not!” followed bacause people were unsure how to spell that word.
