Tacky, low-class, or lacking taste: the Argentine word for something or someone without refinement. Mersa can describe gaudy fashion, cheesy music, or crass behavior. Not always deeply offensive, but it definitely signals "not our crowd."
“The decor at that party was really tacky.”
“Don't be tacky, you are not wearing that.”
