I always found people who take pictures with the middle finger as a trashy gesture. I don’t and never know who they’re trying to tell off but it’s out of no where and just stupid. It doesn’t offend me, I just find it a pointless gesture and therefore - trashy.

    Fake opulence. Example: donald trump. Gold gilded everything in extreme excess. Properties that look like a “B” movie cheesy bordello. Trying to be ‘hip, flashy cool, in’. And looking ultra cringe trying.

    Non-political example: Big ass, loud, overly decked-out truck. Raised up adds 10,000 points, diesel adds 1 million points.

    People who are actually classy don’t have to try. And being classy was never their goal. Trashy takes a lot of effort.

      ‘Trashy’ was a word I’d formerly associated only with trailer parks, and wouldn’t have associated with Elon Musk, but some of the examples in this thread have expanded my view!
