psycho:
(short for ‘psychopath’; plural: ‘psychos‘; pronunciation: the letter ‘p’ is silent, the letters ‘sy’ rhyme with the word “sigh” or with the letters ‘si’ in “sight”, and the letters ‘ch’ are said with a ‘k’ sound as in “king” — for the right pronunciation of this word, please click here)
a psycho in a straight jacket
a person who suffers from mental and personality disorders that result in anti-social activities — showing too much anger, totally different way of thinking, having perverted ideas, doing crimes without any remorse or repentance, i.e. committing terrible crimes without feeling guilt, on the contrary, feeling pleasure in doing so;
a psychopathic person; a psychotic,
a violent psycho, feeling better chopping off heads
e.g.
The police are in search of a psycho who has been throwing acid in the faces of young and beautiful girls.
When he realised that his wife’s mind was full of criminal thoughts, he thought it was quite common in some innocent people, but when he saw her killing the house cat so brutally with a kitchen knife, just for lapping up the milk left on the table, he concluded that she was a real psycho and decided to divorce her immediately.
It’s to be remembered that most psychos can be cured provided they are given some medical treatment and enough time to understand themselves.
