    Wonder if any of those places have ever been robbed at gunpoint, and if so, whether they then called the police.

    Perhaps a play of words given the subject of this thread? *laugh*

    Perhaps it's a term for I am joking that I learned in HS. Not sure if it's still being used since I was in HS in the mid 1990's.

    Yes. Psych (correct spelling). Short for "Psych out." Causing someone cognitive dissonance, usually in a joking manner. First used in the late 1950s and early 1960s as part of the counter culture movement. (And I was in high school in 1961.)

    And was still being used in the 80's; sometimes along with the gesture of reaching to shake a hand, then quickly pulling away to hand-comb the hair, or wiggle fingers at the victim.

    And spelled "psych" even then.
