/Sounds like 'MEHR-sah'/
Tacky, low-class, or without taste — the Argentine word for something or someone lacking refinement. Mersa can describe gaudy fashion, cheesy music, or crass behavior. It's not always deeply offensive, but it definitely means 'not our crowd'.
"El decorado de esa fiesta era muy mersa."
"No seas mersa, no te vayas a poner eso. → The decor at that party was really tacky."
"Don't be tacky, don't wear that."
