      … So yeah, I had already read the comic and was wondering why there was a cat in one panel and a donkey in the other

      And saw your comment and looked over the comic again looking for the ass end of a cat and it wasn’t until rereading yours and seeing the other comment about “flying” did it click

      Wake and bake: 5/7, highly recommend

          Yes, I know what it’s supposed to be. But I haven’t seen it being spelled as “psych” by regular people since the 90s, and only once in a webcomic in the mid 2000s. It’s been “sike” ever since.

          The generally acceptable spelling in the 90s was “sike,” but both forms are fine. Consider the spelling an age differentiator for the person using it.

          Yeah, and Psyche means soul, and is a greek word. If you’re going to be pedantic about language then at least be as correct as you can be.

          I wouldn’t say her soul or animating spirit has been tricked here— that would make no sense. “Sike” is a word now, and it has a very specific and narrow meaning. Just like Psyche now means something totally different that it originally did. Language EVOLVES.
