squirrelly
This term carries a strong informal register and evokes the image of a squirrel's quick, jerky, and unpredictable movements. When describing a person's physical state, it suggests a high-energy nervousness or an inability to stay still, often stemming from anxiety or boredom.
In a social or professional context, the word shifts toward a negative connotation of dishonesty. A squirrelly person is not just nervous, but actively evasive, avoiding direct answers or behaving in a way that suggests they are hiding something. It is less formal than "evasive" and more colloquial than "suspicious."
