I understand and don't really mind changes in language that come from convenience or laziness. But when they come from ignorance like this one and 'should of' it bothers me.

    Yes. The expression comes from the concept of psyching someone out. Sike has no meaning or precedent. It's just a spelling that sounds the same.

    This reply is wild lol

    Did the english language get an Academy while I was hanging out with the wood chips or something?

    I can't imagine having the audacity to say something like this to someone who already explained they picked the word specifically. I'm sorry you feel left out of the joke.
