One might even say your search was, Sisypheanβ¦
what exactly does OP think he meant by "sissyfus"
sissy (more polite term for pussy)
what would that have to do with irritation from aluminum-based deodorant? Is he saying that "sissies" - "fus" (???) are complainers? That's a new one, to me, I thought the term was mostly just used to describe men who were perceived as feminine in some stupid way... unless OP is trying to suggest that complaining is femme...
I think OP just meant that he's strong as an ox if oxen...oxen were the size of a human person. But good question. What exactly is a sisifus or whatever I typed there. Did it actually mean feminine men? Or more like really bitchy men who complain too much. Does bitchy mean people who complain too much? Should I have just said hey I never complain too much but this armpit rash is crazy? Does that mean the rash was decently incoherent? Do coherent rashes burn like lasers? Can you use a coherent rash to measure the Doppler effect in smelly armpits? What's the speed of smell indeed. I don't know. I just will have to figure it out eventually.
I am assuming OP once heard the name "Sisyphus" and made a strange assumption about what he thought it meant and how he thought it was spelled.
edit: oh, I'm replying to OP... that explains why it doesn't make any sense...
It's a double entedre. A sissyfus is someone who complains about lots of things. Given such behavior is a choice, and makes life harder, they are also actively pushing the same boulder up the same hill.
I don't believe that's what OP intended.
This has no bearing on anything said but I thought this vandalism bing/DDG picked up was funny:

I got lucky on the misspelling π.
