/seks-sē/, /sis'sē/ or /skə'sē/
[Small Computer System Interface]
n. A bus-independent standard for system-level interfacing between a computer and intelligent devices. Typically annotated in literature with sexy (/sek'see/), sissy (/sis'ee/), and scuzzy (/skuh'zee/) as pronunciation guides -- the last being the overwhelmingly predominant form, much to the dismay of the designers and their marketing people. One can usually assume that a person who pronounces it /S-C-S-I/ is clueless.
