/tor-SI-do/
Corrupt, dishonest, or operating outside the law. In Mexico, 'torcido' describes anyone who bends rules for personal gain — the official who takes bribes, the cop who plants evidence, the bureaucrat who only moves when paid. The word implies deliberate, knowing wrongdoing.
"That cop is dirty — everyone in the neighborhood knows it."
"Don't trust that accountant, he's crooked and has a record."
