The nickname for
new no-longer-science-fiction-related TV network Syfy that was once called the Sci-
Fi Channel. Syphy is phonetically equivalent to Syfy, but expounds on the obvious connection to venereal diseases.
Syphy is used among
ex-fans of the network and SF/science fiction aficionados who believe that the
re-branding press release was a slap in the face for anyone who enjoys sci-fi.
There is another bad
monster movie on Syphy.
TV Watcher #1: What's on Syphy tonight?
TV Watcher #
2: That sounds like an STD.
TVW1:
Huh. You're right, I guess it does!
