respectable-degenerate 

One who can simultaneously maintain a reputation of respectability and extreme degeneracy.

I went out with my boss last night and we got blackout drunk at a club. Today we are both back at work and looking fresh. Everyone in the office thinks we are consummate professionals, only she and I know that we are both actually respectable-degenerates.
