The word you want is vice

No he doesn't...He's a yank.


Or possibly a Kiwi. :-)


Yes a Kiwi, and thus I can pick and choose whatever spelling I like,
but usually British spelling unless I'm talking to lots of Yanks

I decided to spell it as vise because vice has lots of other meanings,
e.g.:
1. an immoral or evil habit or practice.
2. immoral conduct; depraved or degrading behavior: a life of vice.
3. sexual immorality, esp. prostitution.
4. a particular form of depravity.
