Thank you, I didn't know this. My gigantic Oxford lists only flack-sid, and my 3 volume Webster's lists flack-sid before flas-id. Unfortunately, popular usage is likely to make flack-sid go the way of the dodo.

I used to use "puce" instead of "puke." But then I found out that you can use puce as a color!

A few years ago flaksid was the only pronounciation listed.
Of course a few years ago nobody thought much about that word.
Things change!
