prettygoodwordsleiveen or sleeveen (SLEE-veen) - n., a dishonest person, a trickster.
Mostly Irish usage, and not surprisingly comes from Irish/Gaelic: slíghbhín or, to use modern spelling, slíbhín. I can't help wonder whether the producers of Doctor Who knew the word when the created the slitheen.
