indecent

pl: nullpast: nullpp: nulling: nullcomp: more indecentsup: most 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.
