syntax

A linguistic concept. Syntax is the way how words are combined to phrases or sentences. Syntax is commonly defined as a set of rules, which, if followed, are capable to produce all possible sentences (or programms if you consider computer languages as well) of a specific language correctly.
There are psychologists that assume that there has to be a syntax in our brains to understand language at all.

One (possible) rule of the english language: "In declarative sentences the word order is subject, predicate, object", e.g. Tom (subject) is sitting (predicate) on the chair (object).

SYNTAX

A synthetic form of LSD (AKA Acid). "Synt"(Synthetic)+"AX"(Acid), SYNTAX is an idiotic abbreviation for a poorly concocted and relatively safe street drug.

While LSD is known for being synthetic, this form is an altered form, known as LD-427 instead of the classic monikor "LSD." It has not currently been banned, but the government is in the process of banning the substance.

The drug is believed to be created by Internet statistician, Chip Piazza.
