So I took it upon myself to investigate the origins and proper spellings of this word that as much as I throw it randomly into my blog is not going to happen.

| Stop trying to make Syke happen, Frankie. It's NOT going to happen! |
Here is everything you ever and never wanted to know about SYKE!
You're welcome!
1. It is slang
2. It is negating. Thrown at the end of a phrase it means--Not! Kidding! Yeah Right! Joking!
3. There are two possible spellings of the word: Sike and Syke
4. According to Urban Dictionary, both are common misspellings of the word Psych. But used the same way.
5. Sike spelled with an I first appeared in the 70's (so spell it w/ a Y or you'll date yourself... even more)
6. Syke was more commonly used and spelled in the 80's
7. Syke,with a y was at the height of its popularity in the 90's
8. Syke was also the name of this dude who was friends with Tupac Shakur!
9. Syke is currently making a comeback after being used in the popular writers blog Frankie Writes
10. SYKE Urban Dictionary didn't say #9, but it SHOULD!
So there you have it! Your urban education for the day is done!
