Both “psych” and “sike” are used as interjections to indicate that a previous statement was a lie, joke, or prank, but psych is the original, formally recognized spelling, while sike is a popular slang variant. And yes, “Psych” derives from “psyched out” (to mentally confuse or trick someone).
Millennial here. “sike” is a Bone Apple Tea. It’s the equivalent of those “when you smell his colon” memes (misspelling “cologne”). If you use “sike” I consider you a dumbass; you really should know better.
That being said, it hit just right when the Piranha Creeper said it:
