I'm explaning the word tacky to my students today. I say things like "not quite appropriate" and "kind of having bad taste, especially when it comes to clothes, usually wearing too much make up or jewelry" and try to give some examples.
They all think about it really hard. Really wanting to understand what this word tacky means. So they can use it too, make it theirs. Stick it in their vocab-bag.
Finally, one guy exclaims, with a look of pride and excitment, his finger pointing to the ceiling
"Yes! I know this! I know somebody who is tacky!!"
