Jul 9, 2021 at 17:37	comment	added	Sven Yargs		Evidently the poster heard the word psych used in the sense discussed in Urban Dictionary, looked it up there, and didn't understand how that meaning emerged from psychology. To conclude that the poster didn't do any research seems flatly contrary to the evidence provided in the posted question. I think this question should be reopened.
