Shyster is derived from the German term scheisser, meaning literally “one who defecates,” from the verb scheissen, “to defecate,” with the English suffix -ster, “one who does,” substituted for the German suffix -er, meaning the same thing.
Generally used to describe someone who is untrustworthy, money grabbing and full of crap, particularlyin the field of legal work for some reason.
Like all successful used car salesmen trying to make a quick buck, the Shyster in Chief artfully distorts the value of whatever he’s saying and has you believing, for just that crazy moment, that he knows all there is to know that matters about a given subject!
