Shylock is a central character in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice who famously demanded a "pound of flesh" from the title character. His portrayal as the stereotype of a miserly money lending Jew has raised questions over possible anti-Semitism on Shakespeare's part.

The origin is from Shakespere's...Merchant of Venice (Italian), but it means loan shark (Basically what credit card companies do today)....but if you don't pay the shylock he does more than ruin your credit rating.

"Shylock" refers to a character in Shakespeares "Merchant of Venice", who demands a pound of flesh without spilling blood.
"A" shylock is commonly meant to refer to a crooked lawyer just as "Quack" refers to an incompetent doctor.
