Is my avatar "dodgy"? (i.e. "shady", "seedy", "questionable")

[Cousin Hepcat]

Something Matei mentioned recently made me think... is my avatar "dodgy"? (i.e. "shady", "seedy", "questionable")

I originally posted a pic of me when I joined the lounge last fall, in a suit with a backward baseball cap (joke), captioned "hatless", asking if the lounge is only for hat-wearers (of which I am not one). My avatar is cropped from that. Thus my expression, from when I was asking the original question.

But wondering now, out of context, if I might put folks off looking too... "dodgy"... let me know thanks

I'm sorry, Heapcat, but I'll have to dodge that question.

Your avatar is fine.

OK, 1 vote for "yes" C'mon folks, let's have it, a few more votes and I'll replace it... don't want any false advertising here!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Your avatar is cool.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Your avatar is NOT dodgy. I vote no. What does a yes vote mean? It IS dodgy?

Fagen would say that it's artful.

No dodginess to my mind. And that dodgy character in my avatar is not me.

OKok, Yes, a "yes" vote means it IS dodgy, no = not... I thought your original post was being bitingly sarcastic lol : \

Dodgy? Naahhhh. I'd buy a car from you.

Pablochan, your avatar looks like John Carradine as "the preacher" in The Grapes of Wrath.

Not knowing the meaning of dodgy, I googled up the Urban Dictionary for the definition of the word. Some readers may be offended by crude language.

Also a British Rock group.

Weirdest definition over there: "The word dodgy originated in a welsh (sic) valley when a boy called Darky used it to describe something irregular."

Nah -- when I think of someone who's dodgy, I expect to see the furtive, fishy eyes of the small-time criminal/used-car salesman. No trace of that here.

I'd say your avatar looks *rakish.*

A devil-may-care boulevardier. A libertine. A likeable cad. A ...

I think Lizzie and Marc have just expressed my thoughts more eloquently than I ever could.

I like it.

Your avatar, that is.

 

[CharlieH.]

I'll say it's classy.

I'm not sure, but I think it's Hank Williams.

Your face looks apologetic, like youre caught in an "oops", as first I thought dodgy, but now its more, "you caught me"
