Syksey
Syksey (fl. 1840-1849) was the pseudonym of an American criminal and member of the Bowery Boys. He was supposedly the lieutenant and longtime companion to Mose the Fireboy during the 1840s, often the storyteller of his feats, and is credited for coining the phrase ''"hold 'de but"'', a common expression used during the mid-to late 19th century meaning to borrow a dead cigar or to ''"bum a smoke"''.〔Asbury, Herbert.

''Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams''. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1998.
