I can't take credit for this, but I thought it was funny.
>>>>Here is an article from another website describing The Ridge. If you read it closely, you'll come to this line:
"They also have plans for a town center located on highway 63, close to Windermere Road, that will have kitschy shops, a high end grocery store, and a gourmet restaurant."
Kitschy? Check out the definition:
"Kitsch is a term of German origin that has been used to categorize art that is considered an inferior copy of an existing style. The term is also used more loosely in referring to any art that is pretentious or in bad taste, and also commercially produced items that are considered trite or crass.
Kitsch can be used to refer to any type of art that is deficient for various reasons—whether it tries to appear sentimental, glamorous, theatrical, or creative, kitsch is said to be a gesture imitative of the superficial appearances of art. It is often said that kitsch relies on merely repeating convention and formula, lacking the sense of creativity and originality displayed in genuine art."
Inferior. Pretentious. Bad taste. Trite. Crass. Deficient. Lacking sense of creativity and originality.
Hey, they said it, not us.<<<<
