Entendo a ideia, mas qual o correspondente exato em PT do Brasil?
Always Learning
pessoas nojentas/repugnantes
Explanation:
Skeezy
The quality of being sketchy or of dubious origin. A skeezy guy is the kind that you're not quite sure where they came from, but they tend to be the oily, used car salesman types. A skeezy chick shares the dubious origin, and is likely the kind you find passed out at a party or in a bar that when she wakes up, goes home with the nearest guy

Babacas


Explanation:
Sugg.

Em PTPT eu diria simplesmente "pessoas estranhas" ou "cromos". Mas penso que em PTBR pode-se usar o termo "babacas".

De qualquer forma, é só uma sugestão.
