What does it mean lurky and how can I use it?

i have never encountered that in any media. can you link some examples? from the definition and context, i'm gonna assume it means "creepy" as someone who lurks is usually hiding and up to no good.

I have heard lurk as a verb, not an adjective, though I suppose it could be used to describe a person that lurks. If I say “I like to lurk in my friends’ group chat.” It would mean that I enjoy observing the conversations and events in that group chat, but I do not often contribute to the discussion. I *lurk* silently in the corner.

Creepy.

It is slang. It refers to someone who lurks or is a lurker - someone who hangs around, watching, but does not participate in what is going on/does not engage with other people. It has negative connotations because being lurky is often a bit creepy.

Perhaps you're mishearing the word "lucky"?

"**Lurk; to Lurk** \- (verb): to be or remain hidden so as to wait in ambush for someone or something." The addition of the suffix "-y" turns this word into an adjective, which could be used to describe a creature or person who "has a tendency to lurk." Basically, if someone calls you "lurky" they're saying that you're quiet and sneaky, which may be making the person who called you it or others feel uncomfortable or threatened as a result (they could also just be teasing you for being quiet though).

As a native speaker I would take it to mean that the person seems suspicious. You could say instead: "You are very suspicious." And it would have a similar meaning. The word lurk could be used to describe an action such as someone "lurking around in a corner", which could be viewed as a suspicious action. In Australian and British english I don't think lurky to describe a person is used that much, and another word like suspicious would be typically used instead.

in order of level of behavior: low profile, secretive, sneaky, creepy. not lurky.

I could only assume it is derived from the verb “to lurk” and describes someone as unsettling or creepy. I have never heard this word though.
