Tacky
Gauche
Garish
Let's learn some vocabulary.
The other day, I was walking next to a nice restaurant and they had this sign on it and
my husband said, "How tacky." Why is the city making these
restaurants put up this awful sign? Tacky. Not in good taste. The front
of this restaurant was beautiful. They had great plants, great style and this sign just ruined it.
Well, my son who is five says, "What's tacky mean?"
And my husband said, "Gauche!" And I'm like what is my husband
thinking? My kids not going to know "gauche". Something that's gauche is unsophisticated,
a little bit awkward. This word seems it could be pronounced
"gosh" but this one is actually "gauche". And Garish means bright and showy.
What a garish sign to have to put on the front of a beautifully styled restaurant.
