Ross

I believe the answer is:

cynical

(Other definitions for cynical that I've seen before include "Believing the worst of motives" , "Disinclined to believe the sincerity of others" , "Sceptical, mocking" , "Of a pessimistic disposition about the world" , "streetwise" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
