Sheesh: Not actually a new word in American usage: The word was already used in 1955 according to Merriam-Webster. However, actor Art Carney already sang the song "Sheesh, what a Grouch!" in 1954. Then as now, "sheesh" is an expression of amazement - both negative and positive. Translated roughly: "My goodness," "oops," or "really". It is not clear where the term comes from: It could be a variation of "Jeez" - meaning "Jesus". - says the FAZ in an article about the youth words of 2021.
