[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know.I think "trashy" is a class judgement but "tacky" is more of an etiquette or behavior judgment, not tied in directly with class and / or wealth.[/quote] I could get on board with this distinction, but a lot of people use these words interchangeably. It also makes me squeamish to get into a debate about etiquette because I think the better judge of character is to look for good intentions, well communicated. People can adhere to etiquette and still be cruel a$$holes. And a person can be uncouth and still be kind, warm, and wonderful. Etiquette is about knowing the rules of a certain set. It's inherently classist.[/quote]
