Dubious

1) Adjective – doubtful or questioning; hesitant.

The cold, long face that will triple your insurance bill for no reason other than to see you suffer.

2) Adjective – Unreliable, questionable, not to be trusted.

The scientific community called Dr. Chad Realname’s research dubious because he never gave a clear answer on how he conducted so many experiments on what he called the “bounciness of the human body at high velocity.”

The climber trusted the dubious rope that had an ominous frayed edge and people miles around heard the echoes of a regretful scream.
