inglés term

subtly underhanded

inglés al español Arte/Literatura Psicología Manipulative people
Context:

Although the extreme wolves in sheep’s clothing that make headlines grab our attention and pique our curiosity about what makes such people “tick,” most of the covertly aggressive people we are likely to encounter are not these larger-thanlife characters. Rather, they are the subtly underhanded, backstabbing, deceptive, and conniving individuals we may work with, associate with, or possibly even live with.

Thanks

inglés term (edited): they are the subtly underhanded

son los que actúan de [una] manera [más bien] solapada

“Solapado” es la palabra que tiene el mismísmo signifcado que “underhanded.”

sutilmente turbios

La idea es cómo nominalizar subrepticio, soterrado; estos sujetos son sutilmente turbios... Deshonesto parece demasiado explícito. Turbio parece funcionar en el contexto.
