    Usage: {Iniquitous}, {Wicked}, {Nefarious}. Wicked is the
    generic term. Iniquitous is stronger, denoting a
    violation of the rights of others, usually by fraud or
    circumvention. Nefarious is still stronger, implying a
    breach of the most sacred obligations, and points more
    directly to the intrinsic badness of the deed.
