shyster?
[edit]Hotten (1874) seems to treat this as a form of shyster. Equinox ◑ 10:31, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
Hotten also has shice, meaning "nothing": "To do anything for shice, to get no payment. The term was first used by the Jews in the last century. Spanish, CHICO, little; Anglo-Saxon, CHICHE, niggardly; or perhaps connected with the German, SCHEISSEN." I can't find any usage in Google Books, though it is often mentioned.
