What does it mean when the Americans say "shello"?

As title,

is that the profanity "$**t" phrased in a nicer way?

It doesn't have an original context attached before or after it, I just heard it in a Youtube video, and somebody just says that randomly during the video.

'Shello' has no meaning that I am aware of, and I suspect that you have misinterpreted the pronunciation. If you can relocate the instance, please provide us a link.

I have not misinterpreted the pronOunciation at all,

and I got my answer from an American after I posted it here.

It's a casual version of "hello."

"Shelloooo" is actually taken from a 70's show. At first I though it was Sigmund and The Sea Monsters but Urban Dictionary says it may have been Good Times or What's Happening. I think that person on UD was onto something.
