The Free Dictionary has one entry for the word "sike", and it's "a small stream" or "a ditch", neither of which applies here.

Internet slang isn't always in the dictionary. Like you could have told us to "look it up sweaty" which is 100% correct mematically but definitely not grammatically.

This isn't Internet slang. It comes from the early 20th century. Also, people were saying "Psych!" back in the 80s.
