Spic is an ethnic slur used in the United States for a person of Hispanic background.

Etymology

Some in the United States believe that the word is a play on their pronunciation of the English "speak."^[1]^[2]^[3] The Oxford English Dictionary takes spic to be a contraction of the earlier form spiggoty.^[4] The oldest known use of "spiggoty" is in 1910 by Wilbur Lawton in Boy Aviators in Nicaragua, or, In League with the Insurgents. Stuart Berg Flexner, in I hear America Talking (1976), favored the explanation that it derives from "no spik Ingles" (or "no spika de Ingles").^[5] These theories follow standard naming practices, which include attacking people according to the foods they eat (see Kraut and Frog) and for their failure to speak a language (see Barbarian and Gringo).

Eco-Fabrication Process and Thermoelectric Properties of β-FeSi2

… The thermoelectric material β-FeSi2 was produced by a rapid eco-process involving induction-field-activated combustion synthesis / static pseudo-isostatic compaction (IFACS/SPIC). … A dense Fe-Si alloy (Fe/Si = 3/7) was synthesized by IFACS/SPIC using a powder compact of high purity Fe and Si. … An induction time (5 min) of IFACS/SPIC and the annealing time (at 1123 K for 5 min) for β-transformation were extremely shorter than those of conventional synthesis. …
