Whatever the reaction, I do admit I'll never change it.
It's been the word I've always used.
Devious.
The meanings I use are "indirect in departing from the accepted or proper way", "deviating" and thusly "deviating from a straight course".
I'm gonna touch up on this sometime. There's a LOT I want to talk about.
