Expedient: Expedient can refer to anything that serves one's immediate interests or goals, even if it is not necessarily the most principled or morally upright choice.
Paltry: Paltry is an adjective that describes something as being small, meagre, trivial, or of little value.
Nasty: It often implies that it is unpleasant, filthy, or repulsive.
