Saying something about a person's comment for example.
2006-11-09 05:45:37 · 16 answers · asked by Anonymous in Society & Culture ➔ Etiquette
If you say something that is rude, offensive or in some way hurtful to another person that is tacky. Essentially an uncalled for remark that is hurtful.
Look at the link in my source list for a definition.
Take care,

It means it's a tasteless remark when referring to a person's comment. If you're referring to "things" being tacky it's pretty much the same - cheap and cheerful like fluffy dice and plaster ducks on the wall.

Neglected and in a state of disrepair: a tacky old cabin in the woods.
Lacking style or good taste; tawdry: tacky clothes.
Distasteful or offensive; tasteless: a tacky remark.

1. not tasteful or fashionable; dowdy.
2. shabby in appearance; shoddy: a tacky, jerry-built housing development.
3. crass; cheaply vulgar; tasteless; crude.
4. gaudy; flashy; showy.
Hope that helps

"It's tacky" is one of those phrases which is easy to understand but hard to explain. It sort of means something that is rubbish but tries miserably to disguise itself as something good.

Gross, ugly, not acceptable, ewwwww, yuk, yukey
nasty, smells bad but they don't have the guts to say so,
dumb, stupid, ....and for the DIY example - It's a sticky surface - lie a glue surface!

tacky is like, thrown together, without care.

What they probably mean is that the first comment is tactless - it is not polite.

Depends, can mean cheap and nasty, can mean tasteless, or can mean something is sticky.
