/Sounds like 'or-TEH-rah'/
Kitsch, tacky, and embarrassingly flashy — bad taste personified. In Spain, hortera describes something or someone that's trying to look fancy or cool but missing completely — too loud, too cheap-looking, without any class.
"Ese diseño es muy hortera, parece de los años ochenta mal entendidos."
"No seas hortera, esa combinación de colores no funciona. → That design is really tacky, it looks like the eighties done badly."
"Don't be tacky, that color combination doesn't work."
