What does SHTIK mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
A variant spelling of shtick, an entertainer's trademark routine, gimmick or characteristic style of performance.
A performer's shtik is the particular bit of business, joke, or mannerism that becomes associated with them and that audiences come to expect. The word spread into general English from Yiddish through American show business, where it first described a comic's signature routine. By extension it can describe anyone's habitual trick or pose, not only that of a professional entertainer. The spelling shtik is less common than shtick but appears in the same informal contexts.
