[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes this term is classist and really needs to be cancelled and go away. It is discriminatory.[/quote] In the words of the great Inigo Montoya: “I do not think that word means what you think it means.” Like a pp said: the Kardashians dress tacky while the Kennedys dress classy. The Kardashians are wealthier than the Kennedys. The Kardashians wear far more expensive clothing. But their fashion choices are garish, attention-seeking, and typically inappropriate for the occasion. That’s tacky. It’s not a socioeconomic measure; it’s a tangible vibe. The pp posting common usage of the word in the 1800s is being silly. I mean, some means something entirely different in 2023 than it did in 1823 or even 2003. [/quote]
