Etymology
The etymology of the word is not generally agreed upon. The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as “of obscure origin”, possibly deriving from a historical sense of “shy” meaning disreputable.[1]
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary deemed it probably based on the German Scheißer (literally “defecator”, “shitter”[2]). A book published in 2013 traces the first use back to 1843, when scammers in New York City would exploit prisoners by pretending to be lawyers. These scammers were disparagingly referred to as “shisers”, meaning “worthless people” in British slang, which in turn was originally derived from the German “Scheißer”.[3]
Various false etymologies have suggested an antisemitic origin, possibly associated with the character of Shylock from Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, but there is no clear evidence for this.[4] One source asserts that the term originated in Philadelphia in 1843 from a disreputable attorney named “Schuster.”[5]

New York, New Yorkers better start praying they can DRAFT Rudi Giulani and terminate the Marxist.
Protesters were in front of Trump Tower the day after he got elected, vowing to “resist”.....it was New York City Democrats who went after Trump hard.....
