What is TACKY???

[CookieGVB]

People who whisper and have private jokes and conversations while they're with other people. Ugh!!!

I have just (deep breath) hung my head dog-like, wailed, cried, noshed teeth, shed tears, torn clothes from body (and boy, do I feel liberated), and tarred and feathered myself. But before I apologize to the board and deny myself a day (which will be spent diligently searching out only the finest middle-finger graphic to post your stinkin' honor), I have but one question:

Snort of derision... muttering "whatever"

Now THAT is a good one. Whenever someone does that, I always say, "unless you have something to say that doesn't involve government secrets, you shouldn't whisper. It's rude." Embarrass them all I tell you!

I think it's tacky when people brag about how much something cost or ask how much you spent on something.

LOL Zurg!! My jr high band director used to wear a purple knit shirt with brown pants and purple socks with...you guessed it! SANDALS!! Even in the bad fashion of the late 70's (disco- EW!) this was a definite bad choice!

OK, I can't get used to it and I think showing off your bra straps is tacky.

Being invited over to dinner by friends, and not offering to bring something.

Since Pat dragged Christmas into this thread, I gotta say I think metallic garland is tacky.

Another vote for people who like to talk about how much everything they own costs!

Those shiny gazing balls on lawns..... what are they for anyway? Ceramic gnomes..... sorry, not much into lawn ornaments here.

Those plastic manger scenes... Santa maybe... but the Holy Family in plastic?? I think not!And I think tinsel on the Christmas tree is tacky too...... (((ducking to avoid the flames probably coming my way!)))

Hey, don't blame me for your garlandophobia. I love metallic garland! It's nowhere near as tacky as a partially inflated 8 foot Frosty.

(this kind of makes you see how silly the average debate is, huh?).

FYI: Amy hates metallic garland. I therefore can't show her this post. Garland lovers, unite.

See above. I'm with you on the gazing balls (looks like something out of a John Waters film), but what do you ladies have against garland and tinsel?

(post evolving into "the many faces of Christmas").

Can we at least have a consensus on the plastic mangers?

I'll tell ya whats tacky... the agent who just called ME with a referral, continued to talk to her assistant, called a client on her cell phone while I was still on the phone, hung up on the client, remarked sarcastically about"how nice she was to her clients", but not to me mind you... to her assistant and then continued our conversation. Without so much as a Sorry, Thanks for holding a second, Excuse Me.... if she wasnt giving me business I would have hung up on her...

I'll tell you what else...writing across peoples butts is tacky. Esp by Juicy... and double esp if it's on a young girl.

I dont care for lawn ornaments either... esp. when you have snow white, the 7 dwarves and all the woodland creatures out there.

 

[goofygirl]

Tacky is:

Pink plastic flamingoes

Elvis impersonators


velvet paintings


fuzzy dice


see through tops

plastic flowers


almost everything sold at Spencers Gifts stores!

plastic utensils and paper plates at a wedding reception


wearing many gold neckchains


And...I also hate Precious Moments figurines! I think they are SOOOO TACKY! I hate Thomas Kincaid art for the same reason.

Pants that are so low cut that you can see people's underwear... or worse (if ya know what I mean!).

People who invite you over for dinner, when you show up there is no food, they are ordering in and ASK you for half the money.

I don't mind at all paying my way but I feel that when you invite someone over for dinner that they are your guest and you should be treating them unless it was discussed prior that you would be ordering and splitting the bill. No different then when I am invited to someone’s house for dinner I expect to be fed by them. I always make sure that I bring wine or dessert but not my own dinner.

 

[Harambe]

I once received a lovely bottle of wine for a house-warming gift - which was only half full. No sh**! Totally tacky.

Looks-wise, I just don't get the girls who wear stretchy, tight, workout clothes - and they are really overweight. Now - I am very overweight, so I am not fat-phobic, but these gals just look awful!

Garlandophobia!! LOL!

I will join the consensus on the Holy Family in light-up plastic. TACKY!!

I also agree about the pants with the writing across the butt. TACKY!

 

[Dodie]

Those terrible shorts and pants that young girls everywhere seem to be wearing that have big WORDS splashed across their rump like "CHEER" or "SEXY." These are incredibly tacky, IMHO, and are a pretty blatant way to call undue attention to the rear-end of someone who is probably too young to be calling attention to their rear-end.

Off soapbox now...
