Furtive, Turpitude, Discomfit

Furtive- shady; acting to hide one’s intentions

Ex: The two squirrels exchanged furtive glances as they prepared to raid the Keebler Elves’ factory in the trunk of the massive oak tree. They had purposely planned the covert operation for the beginning of girl scout cookie season, as they knew the elves would leave the tree vacant as they engaged in a smear campaign against the blossoming young entrepreneurs outside of the local Sam’s Club.

Turpitude- depravity; wickedness

Ex: The serial killer’s moral turpitude should have been noticed long before he started slashing people. I, for one, am disgusted with all the teachers who saw him eating Smucker’s Goober-the glass jar filled with vile stripes of peanut butter and grape jelly- with a spoon every day at lunchtime, and didn’t think this was cause for any concern.

Discomfit- to make someone feel uncomfortable or embarrassed

Ex: Leanne was greatly discomfited by her boyfriend’s grand arrival at the Jazz club in New Orleans. He burst open the doors and strode in wearing a feathered fedora, toting duel-wield finger guns. He gave a nod and a flamboyant bow in the direction of a waiter and told him, in a pompous depression-era southern accent to, “Toss on some Duke Ellington, would you Bigsby? Papa’s gotta unwind after a tough day at the railyard. Some colored cats were giving papa a hard time about the train schedule, and you know papa doesn’t take kindly to being spoken down upon, ‘specially not by any young urban folk, if you catch my drift.” The waiter ripped off the feather from his fedora and jammed the quill tip into his urethra.
