Serious question; can somebody please explain to me how drinking soda out a can makes you trashy? Are you suppose to drink it out of a champagne glass?

Or going to Costco? You get good deals there. I don't go to Costco personally but would never pass judgement on somebody who does. Or calling somebody trashy for mowing their own lawn. Have people lost their minds from Covid?

Either a lot of people here have demented notions of what it means to be trashy or I'm way out of touch.

Went to really, really bad schools (in America, by American standards) and a directional state college, and my siblings dropped out of college

I get acrylic nails
My masters degree is from a no-name state school
I let my kids watch TV. A lot of TV.
I was a single mom (just got married to the best guy on Thursday!)
I yell at my kids - not often, but I do
I highlight my hair
I have big boobs and a big butt - apparently a large contingent of DCUM finds this trashy
I’m Puerto Rican

IMO “trashy” is a term used by old-money white people to differentiate those who will never be acceptable to - nor accepted into - their precious world

I occasionally buy Corn Nuts at 7-11, when I’m buying my lottery ticket. While in line, I gaze at the over-cooked hot dogs and wonder if they taste good. Back home, you could get some pretty good friend chicken or chimichangas at the corner convenience store.

DP here. OBX is not rural south? WTH is it then?


You seriously think that OBX is in the rural south? Go visit rural Arkansas, rural Alabama and Louisiana, and then come back.

Agree but I think it's deliberate, basically a humble brag.



Speaking for myself, I was being honest in what makes me feel trashy. Everything is relative and we can only talk from our own experience. I am grateful that DMV is overall tasteful. You are probably right that compared to a trailer park in rural Mississippi or the Louisianan bayou, these are not terribly trashy examples.

I have seen some of those alarming photos of Walmart shoppers in rural America - it is mind boggling and heart breaking to me that some people go out dressed like that … e.g., obese men with beards in high heels and tankini mini skirts that let their sagging spare tires spillover onto the cart handles, morbidly obese mothers in wireless bras and skimpy shorts with no underwear and their obese kids waddling around them grabbing junk food and toys, teenagers covered top to bottom in tattoos with misspelled words and multiple piercings in every orifice. Many of them are probably very nice people but it is just very far removed from my experience of life and hard to relate to.
