indecent
This word carries a heavy weight of social judgment, signaling a breach of the unspoken contract of public modesty or fairness. It suggests a violation of boundaries that makes others feel uncomfortable or offended, often evoking a sense of shock or moral disapproval. When applied to financial matters, the word shifts from a moral or sexual connotation to one of extreme unfairness. In this sense, it describes a gap between what is expected and what is offered that is so wide it becomes an insult to the recipient.
Meanings
Not conforming with generally accepted standards of propriety or shockingly unreasonable.
"The comedian was criticized for making indecent jokes during the family show."
