Prehaps he made the word up.

It's not a word. SS clearly means to us it as some kind of adjective form of 'simile', but such a varient doesn't exist, especially not in older English. If such a term becomes accepted, it'd be completely neo-English.

But yes, I don't think 'Pyro' is actually a robot. For Munch's Oddysee, Sligs were, at one point, going to have Samurai-like glistenings to indicate their status at a distance. Possibly this characteristic was carried through, but I think it's as Raj himself says, it's just a style he uses.

My language teacher used to use the word alot back in 8th grade, so I guess he made it up.
