as in, "that's so kitsch."
and i've used to often.
Lo sent me a picture of a necklace she purchased off etsy with three silver owls together, representing her and her sisters. Her mom loved owls.
i thought it was darling and replied to her email saying, "owls are so kitsch- OF COURSE your Mom loved them. Of course."
she emailed me back saying that she didn't know what Kitsch meant, so she looked it up and was hurt:
Definitions of kitsch on the Web:
excessively garish or sentimental art; usually considered in bad taste
Kitsch is the German and Yiddish word denoting art that is
considered an inferior, tasteless copy of an extant style of art...
man oh man i felt TERRIBLE. i had nooo clue!
but sweet lo saw my vocabulary faux-pas. in fact, i told her how i used it in this post to describe Katy's decor {which i lurve!}. ahhhh. I'm so embarrassed.
i told my boss the story and she goes, "well that's because kitsch sounds cute. It's a cute word. Isn't it jewish?"

hihi - your are sooo cute! I had to laugh out loud! Kitsch sounds really nice, you are right. But it´s not only a baaaad word, so don´t feel panic about it. It means knickknacks and trash, but in my opinion kitsch is sometimes really nice stuff ;o) sunny greetings from good old germany, geisslein ;o)
Geisslen, see i think that's what i was thinking of. I know I saw it somewhere in that terms... i think we girls should adopt the word and make it cute. deal? ;)
