sketchopotamus 

1) A "sketchy" (creepy/shady) person who watches from a distance but scarcely moves, similar to how a hippopotamus peers out of the water with only it's eyes but remains still.

2) A not-so-subtle way of alluding to someone's sketchiness.

1) Jim- Anyone else notice the guy over there peering over his menu?

Sally- Yeah.

George - Yeah man, he's been doing that for like an hour. What a f***ing sketchopotamus.

2) Billy- I'm not so sure I trust that Frank guy you've been hanging around with, Lisa.

Lisa- What do you mean? He's a total sweetheart. Just yesterday, I ran into him at the supermarket and then AGAIN at the dry cleaner.

Billy- Let me just put it this way: if Frank had a favorite animal, it would be a sketchopotamus.

Sketchopotamus 

A general feeling of uneasiness or creepiness, intermingled with fear and driven by a natural aversion to the unknown.

It can also be used as a prime example of Dane Cook's humor (however this is no Dane Cook joke, its just like one!). Basically, take a word, attach another and then brand it.

Guy 1: "Guys, check it out. I was wandering around downtown last night and I wound up finding this dive bar where you have to go down three flights of stairs and finally end up in a room with a tiny bar and a burning trash can surrounded by hobos."

Guy 2: "Shit dude!"

Guy 1: "Yeah it was totally sketchopotamus".

Alternatively, Guy 1 could have said he was feeling "sketchopotamus".

sketchopotamus

person 1: I was trying to score some yay last night but my regular supplier was on holiday...
person 2: ... so whatever did you do ol' chap?
person 1: Well not any nose candy. The young mexicano gentelman you suggested the other week ended up being a real sketchopotamus and I got such a bad case of the willies I almost shat myself.
person 2: Ahhh, do tell.
person 1: Yes, yes
