That's bourgie with an "r". As in bourgeois.

Thought I'd bump this up.

Someone starts a thread about how to express her condolences to a friend who just miscarried, and someone else responded that it was tacky of the friend to announce a miscarriage on Facebook.

Really? Is your humanity so low that when reading about a miscarriage, your main concern is how tacky the announcement was?

I was thinking about adding another plastic pink flamingo to my lawn flock. What do you think? Some of the neighbors don't like it but I.just.don't.care. They match my pink Mary Kay Caddy. I love tacky!

I am obsessed with the women obsessed with tacky. Usually these women are tacky personified! They will casually dismiss something as tacky with a flick of their chipped red polished hands, ensconced in Juicy Couture or Lululemon, wearing flashy sunglasses. Think many of the women on Real Housewives. They will criticize yet are the biggest offenders. Love their total lack of self awareness. Love it!!

In the context of the FB and miscarriage post, I think most people used tacky to mean ill-considered.

And no, I'm not posting this as a "hit dog." It's just that whenever someone asks for an opinion on DCUM, they are either asking if it's tacky or they are told that it's tacky.

Why does this bother you?

You must have pink flamingos on your front lawn.

OP from that thread here.

While I do believe some people think that her attitude was unwise, most of the horrible heartless bitches who posted there did mean it was tacky and showed absolutely no mercy for my friend's tragedy.

You can't say you never learn anything on DCUM! My mom has been saying "bourgie" for the 40+ years I've known her, but you'd never describe her as "ghetto," so I guess variety is the spice of life and all that.

I don't think it's a great idea to announce a pregnancy on FB either, but I sure as hell am not going to criticize a human who just lost a child for their method of communicating the loss to their friends.
