Leipzig

German city that's host to a goth festival and a gaming convention. Its most notable features are the huge-ass train station, the army of market research peons and the perpetual building site sprawling all over the inner city.

Market research peon: Could I have a moment of your time?
Student: Er... I'm not from Leipzig.
MRP: This will just take a minute-
Student: I no speak English.

Syphy

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!

Syfy

1. Originating in Polish, meaning zits, cum or filth in the plural and syphilis in its singular form ("syf").

2. Slang term for syphilis, often used in a mocking or even affectionate fashion.

3. Name of a TV network that shows imagination-based programming to go with their illusionary ratings. Failing after a re-branding press release insulted its core audience.

1. Co to za syfy? (Eng.: What is this crap?)

2. Aww, man, you better wear some protection or you'll get the syfy.

3. There's never anything good on the Syfy.
