Holy Moley! Sketchy is as sketchy does. OK - so it's still not a verb, I know. A noun.

Bob and Tom own a company which uses many suppliers. In order to determine which suppliers to use most frequently, they create 3 categories to classify their suppliers. Those that are always on time with the lowest price are classified as "Good". Those that are middle of the road in price and rarely make a late delivery are classified as "Doable" and those that sometime arrive early with the lowest price and sometimes arrive late with the highest price are classified as "Sketchy".
Chemco and Phlemco are new suppliers to the company. They've been delivering supplies to the company for 2 weeks now. Early Monday morning, Bob and Tom meet to discuss the new suppliers.
Bob says, "Well Tom, Chemco and Phlemco have each made 10 deliveries to us in the last two weeks. Chemco was only late twice and their price was right in the ballpark every time. Phlemco was late 6 times, but half the time they had the best price. Whaddaya say? In which category should I put each of these two companies?"
Tom replies, "Sketchy Phlemco and Doable Chemco. If Phlemco can start getting here on time, we can bump them up to Good."

While as they use the words they do qualify as verbs, the more proper sentence would be "Sketchiate Phlemco and Doablize Chemco," thus converting the adjectival inflections to proper verb form.
Hey, no offense intended. We have been bantering over "sketchy" for several days now ever since someone posted that they were seeing it used as a verb. What they obviously meant was they were seeing it creep into their local vernacular, though not actually as a verb, and we have been volleying wisecracks around about it ever since. I thought you were joining in, so I bounced it back to you.
Peace,

LOL. Literally. And I do literally mean "literally".
