[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of tacky as standing out in a bad way or bad taste that stands out, regardless of class. It doesn't necessarily mean trashy or come with a judgment that is related to wealth or upbringing (which trashy does). A bright and branded designer track suit is something I'd find tacky but it wouldn't be trashy. I find most designer handbags that overdo their branding tacky but a lot of rich and wealthy people here love them. [/quote] I think, definitionally, you’re wrong about this. You may mean that, but as a matter of word definitions and history, it has a classist meaning. [/quote]
