Nope. You forgot "common."

No, it's not tacky, it's provincial. Tacky is something different altogether.


I'm confused. Are you saying it's not tacky to start flame wars on DCUM, as long as you're a SAHM living in the suburbs?

We Southerners prefer "trashy." Preferably said with a real drawl -- "traaashy."

OP here.

I vote for vulgar. Tacky-obsessed DCUMers (I'd guess that's about 70% of you) please use vulgar instead throughout the holiday season. It's more amusing.

I'm pretty obsessed with it in real life, not just here. I'm often apalled at how tacky/vulgar/tasteless/cheap/garish/etc some people are.

Personally, I find "tacky" much less objectionable than people constantly referring to other posters as "Bitch." Now that I have written this I know that someone here will feel compelled to call me Bitch, but not to worry I have my big girl panties on so I can handle it.

Can those obsessed with absolutely everything being tacky find a new word to cry out at every post, at least temporarily?

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.
