Sleaze?

elblanco | karma 4244 | avg karma 2.0 · | 2009-10-20 20:13:17

Sleazy is the word I'd choose.

TheShadowRunner | karma 36 | avg karma 4.5 · | 2016-10-01 20:59:36+00:00

Sleazy offshoot? Could you give me some examples; genuinely curious about it.

Tao3300 | karma 2337 | avg karma 1.83 · | 2022-07-22 12:47:22

> The sleaziness of uninitialized data access

That's the perfect word for this kind of thing. It's not wrong, but it's sleazy alright.

> sleazy ever since the accident.

Do you mean "even"?

Sketchy?

I've seen the same euphemism used to pave over outright criminality.

Remember: If it smells like fraud, it's just eccentricity!

The word you may be looking for / thinking of is melcryptovestimentaphilia.

What does "cartelicious" mean? All that Google turns up is a lot of stuff on MySpace and Xanga...

randcraw | karma 3643 | avg karma 2.4 · | 2022-12-05 11:48:53

Or depraved indifference.

overdrivetg | karma 103 | avg karma 1.18 · | 2017-11-30 17:44:26+00:00

Maybe "credit slander"? Including the added bonus of expanding the set of possible perpetrators.

ErotemeObelus | karma -14 | avg karma -0.08 · | 2019-05-15 17:30:14+00:00

Predatory.

mgkimsal | karma 16468 | avg karma 2.69 · | 2022-12-16 12:25:59

grift: petty or small-scale swindle.

scorxn | karma 650 | avg karma 4.09 · | 2009-03-13 19:56:55+00:00

I believe you mean indiscreet, not indiscrete.

mhartl | karma 9947 | avg karma 5.0 · | 2009-09-16 19:41:32+00:00

N.B. The official term is "filthy lucre".

*euphemism

jrockway | karma 72069 | avg karma 3.74 · | 2010-03-04 18:20:30

Shady. Shady.

chiph | karma 8264 | avg karma 2.57 · | 2017-08-07 13:41:43+00:00

The article uses the word "Louchest" to describe the times. I had to look it up:

> Disreputable or sordid in a rakish or appealing way

retox | karma 1890 | avg karma 2.51 · | 2017-08-18 00:52:36+00:00

I like the term crimelink.

How about Unsavory/Ungood Resource Locator.

baggy_trough | karma 896 | avg karma 0.72 · | 2021-01-10 02:22:11+00:00

Risible.
