Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It was psych originally, but the mispelling has become mainstream and replaced it.
The Free Dictionary has one entry for the word "sike", and it's "a small stream" or "a ditch", neither of which applies here.
Internet slang isn't always in the dictionary. Like you could have told us to "look it up sweaty" which is 100% correct mematically but definitely not grammatically.
This isn't Internet slang. It comes from the early 20th century. Also, people were saying "Psych!" back in the 80s.
