"More sticky-fingered" is an idiomatic expression that is used to describe someone who has a greater inclination or tendency to steal or pilfer items, often without being noticed or caught. The phrase is rooted in the literal sense of having sticky fingers, which figuratively suggests the person has a knack for taking things stealthily, as if their fingers were coated with a sticky substance that allows stolen objects to cling onto them. In this context, "sticky-fingered" refers to the act of shoplifting, pocketing valuables, or swiping belongings without permission.
The term "more sticky-fingered" implies that the individual possesses this characteristic to a greater extent than others, indicating a pattern of repeated theft or a greater skill in stealing undetected. It suggests that the person is prone to taking things that do not belong to them, showing a lack of moral integrity or ethical conduct.
The phrase can be used informally, often in a lighthearted or teasing manner, to describe someone who frequently acquires belongings through questionable means or has a persistent habit of taking things without permission. It may also be employed in a more serious context, highlighting someone engaging in illicit or criminal behavior.
