Fly-by-night
<fleye-bye-nite>
dishonest; deceitful; crooked;
being unreliable and untrustworthy.
My friend is not a fly-by-night person. I know I can trust him.
Memory trick:
a dishonest person flees in the cover of darkness.
At work.
We did not sign the contract with that fly-by-night company. They were stealing from clients.
