I never heard this word.
Shpitz is the yiddish word for point.

It was used as a derogatory term... from context it seemed like they were referring to someone who was being machmir about something, but for all the wrong reasons. (I know the literal meaning is point/sharp.) The person speaking was an anglo living in Israel for 20+ years.
