voiceless postalveolar fricative (sh tick) its bc it looks like a stick and seo from tbhstudying said “shtick” once instead of “stick” in her podcast bc shes silly but not anymore it seems bc she’s become a jaded working adult living paycheck to paycheckwwith her cat luna instead of the vivacious naive high schooler who is riding on the high of being almost done with her 6 ap exams in your last year of high school. so yeah ʃ looks like a s(h)tick
