Dodgy, shifty, suspect. Or as a verb: to lurk in a public place ie a bar or club.

A very dodgy person indeed. The kind of person who lurks in backgrounds, dodgy eyes, the works...

Sifty

When you have a fear of chalk or cannot touch anything with a "chalky" feel like teachers chalk, sidewalk chalk, blackboards, chalkboard erasers or even books that seem to have a "chalky" residue on them. Also, when you cut your finger nails and you cannot touch anything for a certain period of time because your fingers are too sensitive so to say. You may feel "sifty" or have "siftiness" if:
1. you cringe when you touch chalk or chalkboards
2. you cannot touch anything for a certyain period of time after cutting your nails
3. have a larger reaction than most other people when the chalk or chalkboard squeaks
4. if while you were reading this you cringed at anytime

Disclaimer: If you have "siftiness" or ever feel "sifty" please join our cause and ask for a small dry eraseboard from your teacher when you are asked to write on the board so that you do not cause a "sifty" reaction to chalk.

He wrote on the chalkboard with chalk and immediately felt sifty.

sifty

Casual, gentle pace.

Used by NZ mountain bikers to describe the pace of a ride that is not aggressive or fast.

Any Tauranga riders into sifty night rides?

Sifty

When fifty is the new sixty. When recently healthy and vital people, so exhausted and worn down from Covid, from politics, from the craziness of masks, vaccines, the Big Lie, feel they have lost not just a year but a decade.

Yesterday she was 49. Today was - big whoop - her birthday, and whatever the balloons spelled out, she was sure she must be turning Sifty.

Sifty

Not a real word, but a mispronounced version of Shifty. Shifty referes to somebody suspiciously looking about themselves as if to make sure they're not being watched.

"...and his sifty eyes were.."

Do you mean shifty!?

"Oh, yeah. Anyway..."
