smooth
When describing a person as "smooth," it can be a compliment meaning they are charming, but it often carries a negative hint that the person is untrustworthy or manipulative. As a verb, "smooth" is frequently used with the word "over" (e.g., "smooth over a disagreement") to mean resolving a problem or making a situation less tense.
