What does the yiddish word chaynick mean?

I think you're referring to TCHY-nik. If so, that's literally a small piece of china or pottery. You probably heard it as part of an exclamation like "Hahk mir nisht kain TCHYnik !" Literally, that outburst means "Don't hit me a small piece of pottery !", and it obviously loses a lot in translation. Its function in Yiddish is "For Pete's sake quit PESTERING me already !"
