Greasy describes something covered in grease or oil — food cooked in too much oil, a dirty engine part, or hair that hasn't been washed and looks and flat. It's usually a negative word — greasy food is often seen as unhealthy, and a greasy surface feels unpleasant and slippery to touch. People sometimes also use "greasy" about a person's manner — someone too smooth, , and in a way that feels a bit fake.
