The one that drives me crazy is "please say SIKE"

It's "psych." As in, to psych someone out. Sike isn't a word, it's just a meaningless syllable.

“Psych” had three different meanings in the '90s, all playing on the word “psychological”: There's to “psych out,” meaning to be anxious or intimidated (e.g. “That chem test totally psyched me out!), as well as to “be psyched” or excited about something (e.g. “Dude, I am SO PSYCHED about the Third Eye Blind concert!”). Both of these uses have been around since the early 1960s. A third (and more obnoxious) usage, “Psych!” or “Sike!”, meaning to trick someone, is newer; it’s been in use since 1990.

I was in SoCal in the 90s and we absolutely spelled it sike then too.
