Trashy is pretty close to the union of inconsiderate and incurious.
I was standing outside of a coffee shop one time when I looked across the street and I saw a 40-year-old grown adult woman take her gum out of her mouth and deliberately drop it in the middle of the sidewalk because she couldn't be bothered to walk five feet to put it in a trash can.
It’s gross, but if you’ve got a napkin nearby, you’ve got the opportunity to provide some instant karma in the form of social shaming.
Behaving inconsiderately towards strangers.
Being flagrantly disrespectful of basic public etiquette.
Lack of respect for other people, though it's really usually just a mild annoyance.
Private conversations in public at a volume that ensures everyone knows your business.
Similarly, speaking at full volume on your phone in public.
And the phone is on speaker! Motherfucker, you can hear it better when it's not on speaker and is pressed against your ear!
Donald Trump's interior decoration choices
Fake opulence. Example: donald trump. Gold gilded everything in extreme excess. Properties that look like a "B" movie cheesy bordello. Trying to be 'hip, flashy cool, in'. And looking ultra cringe trying.
Non-political example: Big ass, loud, overly decked-out truck. Raised up adds 10,000 points, diesel adds 1 million points.
People who are actually classy don't have to try. And being classy was never their goal. Trashy takes a lot of effort.
Trying to be ‘hip, flashy cool, in’. And looking ultra cringe trying.
'Trashy' was a word I'd formerly associated only with trailer parks, and wouldn't have associated with Elon Musk, but some of the examples in this thread have expanded my view!
Hypocritical Finnish drunks with infidelity problems who pretend they're the shining beacon of morality and ruin people's lives over cannabis despite drinking themselves unconscious several times a week.
Oddly specific.
Honestly, very generalised from my point of view.
I could list a dozen people with at least a majority of those characterisrics. Most with all of them.
You know it when you see it.
The trashiest thing to me is a loud vehicle being revved and driven by a total asshole
Oh. That was me. Sorry.
Arguing loudly in public. Like having a fight on your front lawn or at a restaurant.
Being a Karen. Very often because it turns into the aforementioned arguing loudly in public but also just the general Karen attitude of how they treat people is trashy.
Rolling coal.
Having a gigantic pickup truck without a need for its towing or hauling capabilities.
Having tons of political affiliation things on your car. Both ways. Not just MAGA. I'd be equally concerned if I saw someone in a tiny smart car flying Bernie Sanders flags with tons of left wing political slogan stickers plastered on it. I get liking the guy, but doing all that is still weird cultist-like shit.
Littering. Literally and figuratively.
I don't know what figuratively littering is, but I'm with you on most of this.
Easy – leopard print clothing.
I always thought that as well, but my opinion changed when I had to dress for a pretty formal office. Leopard print (in the form of a cardigan or scarf or something similar) lets you bridge the gap between black and brown so you don’t need to buy new, matching clothing and shoes. I still didn’t feel comfortable enough with it to actually wear it, but I don’t have catty (sorry) thoughts when I see leopard print anymore.
Actually, now that I think about it, that made it fall out of my personal definition of trashy, but might make it trashier for some people.
Any publicly displayed religious / political mashup. I'm thinking specifically of those "stand for the flag, kneel for the cross" bumper stickers but there's other stuff in that category too. It seems to indicate a person who can't think in terms other than tribalism.
As a Christian myself, 10,000x this. SO much.
I really can't stand the hypocrisy of America-brand Christianity: swearing oaths to a star-spangled idol is not following Christ.
Getting too emotional, positively or negatively, about any sports team you don't have a real personal connection to (as in, your dad founded it, your brother plays in it, something like that, not just "well I was born in Shitstreak so I'm a proud Shitstreaker!") or that you haven't bet any money on. Additionally, betting money on sports or any sort of gambling, which can go from trashy and desperate to degenerate and pathological.
Sometimes "fuck off" just means "fuck off".
I flip the bird for a picture if I don't want my picture taken.
Pissed off an acquaintance in high school because she wanted to take my picture, I didn't want my picture taken, she did it anyway, and I got my middle finger up just as she pressed the button.
She was pissed because:
-
This was in the days before digital photography so there was no option to delete the picture.
-
She was taking pictures for a photography class, the grade included developing the roll, and she would have gotten in trouble if that was included, so she had to start over (or so she said).

Oh honey, I’m not thinking about you at all.
so you don't think im trashy then!
Under the trash blanket you’re wearing, I have no idea who you are inside.
i'm just a girl who likes to dress a little trashy i guess 💅
Her name was Charity and she started wearing crop tops in our 7th grade
The middle finger thing is very selective to me, I very rarely use it. When I do use it though, it means someone has seriously offended me, and might have even threatened me, for no good reason. And yes, words come with that finger, but again, I rarely do anything like that, unless I've encountered an asshole.
Now, what I personally define as 'trashy' is people that leave literal trash around their homes or vehicles. People that can't be bothered to properly throw their stale food away, throw their paper plates under their bed, and then fucking wonder why they have rats and flies around..
At leisure wear while clearly not doing a sports activity (ever).
