Thanks, but I wanted to understand how OP was using the word.

"Seemingly progressive that actually sound morally repugnant", I would assume

Do people use it in other ways?

Every person who uses the word skeevy probably means "morally repugnant," so I will just substitute that phrase mentally in the future when I hear this word. Thank you for your help! :)

I've found that's usually the case, tbh. Whenever anyone is "side-eyeing" or finds something "skeevy" or like OP said "rubs them the wrong way" it's usually something they find morally repugnant, or if used in a lighter context, morally dubious, about it.

I have never heard anyone describe a spider as "skeevy" for example, even if they think spiders are scary or disgusting. Moral judgment is always somehow linked

So how will I know if they mean "morally repugnant" or "morally dubious"? Which did OP mean?

OP: In my story's case, the latter.
(Why are you so set on this though?)

Well, considering op said "sounds" skeevy and not "is" skeevy, you can assume dubious. I assumed dubious because of that.

Context clues. :)

I don't think that's accurate. It's more generally used in a sense that... like, you get a bad or untrustworthy vibe or something.

But also, like... it's a slang term with a penumbra of connotations. Going aggro to nail down a specific definition seems weird and pointless and hard to account why you're doing that. Perhaps even --- skeezy?????
