Things you find tacky?

Fake designer clothing/bags.

When my Grandpa was alive, he would only allow the walls in the house to be white. When he died my 86 year old Grandma wanted bright pink walls. As ugly as it is, we let her do whatever she wanted in her own home for the first time in her life.

My wife and I have had this discussion many times in 40 years of marriage.
I grew up in a house built in 1960. All the walls were painted colors other than white. Kitchen was bright yellow. Tile in the bathrooms was pink.
She grew up in Air Force base housing. White walls, hard wood floors. Then when her parents divorced she live in rental homes, always white walls.
When we bought our house 39 years ago, some of the walls were white and she was in a mad rush to change that. She found the option to have any color she wanted liberating. Me, I found white walls refreshingly different. She won that battle.
Only thing we agreed on was the bright salmon orange paint on the walls in the family room had to go. We put wood paneling up. I won that battle. 39 years later that paneling is still up, only thing we didn't rip out when we remodeled 8 years ago. Wood paneling has gone in and out of fashion repeatedly over those years, but even my wife agrees, it makes the room a warm and comfortable place to relax. And it is the room we spend most of our time in.

I’ll get hate for this one, but I’m saying it anyway: Animal print.

Makes me think of Peg Bundy every time I see it. And my insane SIL. Ha!

Now, I have a tramp stamp myself, so who am I to judge?

Guilty as charged. I have a cheetah print jacket and a pair of leopard print suede pumps. It's probably a little tacky. I can't help myself though. Wearing it always makes me feel confident, carefree and kick-butt. And it never fails to remind me of this beloved iconic Canadian tv character from the 80's. Edith Prickley lives forever in my heart.

I’ll bite- what does YAGE stand for? (I’m horrible with acronyms)

YAGE=Yet Another Grand Exit

I had heard of it before, but couldn’t remember it so had to google.

Going to the casino on a weekend evening and some of the clothes some of the women wear.. A dress or shorts where you can't see part of your fanny would be good.

Using acronyms on an online discussion forum that inevitably need to be explained in a separate post. Just type it all out the first time.

Wearing false eyelashes (or really any cosmetics) at a water park.

I think they are, although the succulents look pretty real. I’ve seen fake flowers in hanging baskets here in the winter, getting snowed on.

How about indoor fake flowers when they start collecting dust? Yuck!
