Coming to school this morning I saw a car decorated with the logo of an energy drink Made In Austria, land of energy drinks, called Psycho Drink (www.psychodrink.com). In words such as psychiatry, psychologist, psyche and psychic, the p disappears so all of these words begin with an /s/ sound. Somebody specializing in psychology at college is a psych (sayk) major. But a psycho / sayko / is something altogether different.. A psycho is a psychotic or a psychopath. In the famous 1960 movie called Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock, Norman Bates, the psycho owner of the Bates Motel, was memorably played by Anthony Perkins. .
Another film, American Psycho, based on the novel of the same name, was about a serial killer on Wall Street who hid his psychopathic tendencies from his coworkers.

A drink called Psycho Drink certainly gives the impression that this is a drink for psychos, or at the very least that it will turn you into a psycho if you drink enough of it. Was this really what the manufacturer intended?
