Schnide : It comes from the German word meaning tailor, via Yiddish, and as you say is used in various card games to mean a clean sweep.
Ah yes, our beloved Schnide. The schnide is cruel and the schnide is
viscous. The schnide has no mercy and takes no prisoners. Once the schnide
grabs a hold of you, it's very hard to shake it loose.
I've also heard it used to mean "on the dole". Getting off the schnide, off the free cheese.
