A person with multiple personalities; a professional/respectable persona as well as a wild and extreme persona (often related to substances and the opposite sex). This person has mastered the ability to know when and where to display each persona. With some people they are respectable and professional, with others they are hard-partying and raucous.

Respectable-degenerates tend to show both personalities, only to other respectable-degenerates.
