“Payed is a rare word that’s only used in nautical/maritime contexts. It can be used to refer to the act of coating parts of a boat with waterproof material or to the act of letting out a rope or chain by slackening it. Paid is the much more common word, used as the past tense of the verb ‘pay’ in all other senses.”
Turn it upside-down and it can be your very unique word-balloon… ㋛
