/Sounds like "wah" (as in "water") + "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "foh" (as in "foam")/
Tacky, in bad taste, or exaggeratedly showy without any real elegance. In Peru, huachafo describes anything that tries too hard to look refined but ends up looking ridiculous: flashy without substance, loud without style, expensive-looking without the class.
“That tacky gift is not going to fit in at that kind of event.”
“The venue's decor was incredibly overdone, way too much going on everywhere.”
/Sounds like "wah" (as in "water") + "CHAH" (as in "chat") + "foh" (as in "foam")/
A person or thing that's tacky, cheesy, or pretentious in Peru. The huachafo tries to be elegant or sophisticated but fails so badly it causes secondhand embarrassment, like wearing a blazer with shorts to a wedding.
“That dress is so huachafo.”
“Don't be huachafo, just dress normal.”
