is it peaked or pekid? - Becky
Posted: Feb 17, 2010
The doctor spells the word out as "the patient appears a little bit PEKID today on exam". Is this the correct spelling? I always thought it was peaked. TIA

Pekid - Jon Boy
[ In Reply To ..]definitely "pekid". Just an old southern word I've heard since I was a boy in Alabama & Georgia. I haven't heard it used in many years though. My guestimated definition is: Not well; slightly ill.
Peaked - pekid gives it a different pronunciation
[ In Reply To ..]peaked = gives it the long 'e' sound (as in tree)
pekid = gives it the short 'e' sound (as in deck)
