/Sounds like "ohr" (as in "oh") + "TEH" (as in "ten") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/
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.”
“That design is really tacky, it looks like the eighties done badly.”
“Don't be tacky, that color combination doesn't work.”
