I know that "Sike" means that the immediately precending statement is false and was told to mislead.
I just wonder if it's an offensive expression or maybe pretty much rude? (How/where/whom) can I use that expression?
Thank you.
It is pronounced 'sike' but the word is 'psych' and is a slang word related to psychology.
Not so much rude but more annoying and immature it is usually used when a person might say something outrageous or upsetting to someone, but after getting a reaction the person would say "psych!" letting the other person know that what they said was just a joke. Hmmm, an example might better
Person 1 "You went on your date with THAT shirt? Didn't you notice the sweat stains under your arms???"
Person 2 - visibly upset or puzzled
Person 1 "Psych!"
Like I said, annoying and immature, something that might be fun in junior high school or with junior high school minded people. Might be funny after a few drinks with long time friends, but I can't imagine many settings where you will find it useful at all
lol this is some old slang I haven't heard in a long, long time. If I heard a non native English speaker say this, it might
be one of the funniest things I've heard in my whole life. fyi- I've never heard an adult use this.
LOL nice :-)
As a foreign language speaker you might get away with a psych joke in a group setting. Sort of a "Oh look the foreign guy knows some cool slang!". But it will wear off quickly. Better to run :-)
