‘Sketchy’ used in the sense of feeling uncomfortable or wary?

[GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER]

As seen elsewhere on MN, when the poster evidently meant that she feels iffy or uncomfortable about something, or that there’s something to be wary of.

I’ve always connected ‘sketchy’ with e.g.insufficient/very brief information, or a bare description.
Is the other a common usage now ?

@ABitOfAShitShow my mum's info is always sketchy. But definitely not dodgy! She'd be too worried about what people would think. She just doesn't remember details. (Drives me nuts! )

I hear you and I understand the nuance but I think at a high-level you can see how they can merge and understand how this second definition has come about. Because if details are scant/missing, the data is compromised - ergo, it’s dodgy (but not in a deliberate sense).

My brain hurts. 😂

@abitofashitshow I've had a lot of fun today imagining she's actually a drug lord or a diamond thief! It's made me snort out loud a few times, which is quite startling for the people around me who can't read my mind!
