[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.
