Welcome to English in a Minute.

This term can mean something is sticky... But how is this adjective used in other situations?

Tacky 趣味低下的，俗气的

Anna: Jonathan! Did you buy your mom that tacky dress she wanted?

Jonathan: You mean the one with the stripes and the polka dots and the enormous bow tie on the shoulder? Yeah, I did.

Anna: Seems like she has her own idea about fashion.

If something is described as tacky, that means it is of poor quality or just shows bad taste. A person can wear tacky clothes, tell a tacky joke, or read a tacky romance novel. Fortunately, I have never done a tacky thing in my life.

And that's English in a Minute!
