According to
http://www.dailywritingtips.com/the-yiddish-handbook-40-words-you-should-know/ ,
The correct spelling and definitions of Schikse and Scheigetz are as
follows:
shikse: A non-Jewish woman, all too often used derogatorily. It has the
connotation of “young and beautiful,” so referring to a man’s Gentile wife
or girlfriend as a shiksa implies that his primary attraction was her good
looks. She is possibly blonde.
A shagetz or sheygets means a non-Jewish boy, and has the connotation of a
someone who is unruly, even violent.
