sketchy

This expression was first coined in reference to hastily drawn out, or sketched, building/construction plans, which were uncertain at best and disastrous at worst. The overall thread of meaning is the same, but now applies to morality/legality. On the overall continuim of goodness, things progress, in order: safe, sketchy, shady, outright criminal.

Getting wasted and gambling away half your paycheck in Nevada may be legal, but its definitely sketchy.

off the heezy

1. Cool, hip, trendy. Corruption of "Of the hook", which meant that something was cool because you'd have to immediately take your phone "of the hook" to tell all your friends about it. Basically, this original thread of meaning has been completely lost with the introduction of the "eezy" (common to a lot of slang at the moment).

"I'd say my plan is more 'off the heezy' now than at any other time." - Draken
