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.
