Greasy person
Hi teachers.
I'd like to know if geasy is the most common and the best word to describe somebody who is
very https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/friendly_1 and https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/polite in a way that is https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/unpleasant and not sincere.
I didn't know greasy can be used as a personality adjective.
Thanks in advance~
