Sketchy
의미: Something or someone that seems unsafe, untrustworthy, or potentially dangerous.
'Sketchy' describes anything that gives off bad vibes — a dark alley, a suspicious deal, a person who seems dishonest. It implies a gut feeling that something isn't right, even if you can't pinpoint exactly what. Americans use it for everything from neighborhoods to business deals to people's behavior.
