In casual Japanese, し can be also used simply to make one's point.
そんなことってないし! = I'm not saying that! [such a thing]
のこときじゃないし! = I don't like him at all!

It is possible to state only 1 reason with +し in a sentence, implying the existence of other unsaid reasons.

In a multiple reasons list, it is possible to replace the last +し with +も, that implies the existence of other reasons and emphasize the speaker's point of view.
