        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, particularly in the field of legal work for some reason.

                  Legendary Monster of Olde, the Shyster is a gangly, pale monsters with long, rake-like claws, perfect for picking roaches out of the deepest of ash trays and picking dutch money out of your pockets. Some say the Shyster acts as a form of smoking karma, bad smoking habits and general shystiness invites the unpleasant visit of the shyster. Others believe he's the fifth rider of the apocalypse, but sold his horse for pot and got ditched by the rest of the riders, now he forever roams the earth in search of pot, disregarding all morals and ethics.
