Phoine

Originating and similar in meaning to "fine" this humorous derivation is used as a reply to when one has made a trivial mistake and, as a result, is sarcastically told to end their own lives. The way in which they are told is very specific as it can not be a direct call to suicide but said in a way where the intent is clear. The variation of spelling is due to the altered pronunciation as the "ho" is pronounced with the profound relief of finally having an excuse to end one's life. Most commonly used between absurdists, this word is only used under the mutual understanding that one wishes to escape the futility of searching for meaning in life through suicide.

Friend: You should really kill yourself
You: PHOINE!
