Over the Top!


So much for the theory that all Parisians show restraint and good taste.  I loved to know if there is a  French word for "tacky".

  1. As I believe Mae West said, "Too much of a good thing can be great!" In case of your pet, I'll go along with that.

  2. Sign language is international and my guess is that there has been a bit of head shaking and tisking at this graveside vignette.

  3. Google Translate offers vulgaire.

    Actually, when I see displays like this, I am usually touched by the honesty of the emotions, even if I don't like the aesthetics.

  4. Jack, you're right of course. The sentiments at this place are so touching. The love for them is so dear.

  5. I know my love for my own four kitties is overwhelming. And somehow in a pet cemetery, this is 'okay'. I'm a little overdone with my own felines, so i'll not judge this person's display. But i do see where you're coming from. Anywhere else, i'd roll my eyes. :)

  6. It is a bit much but they must really value that person's life and beyond.

  7. I believe "gauche" should suffice. That was a bit much!

  8. You can use any of these words: moche, ringard, vulgaire,
    minable, or tocard. The most commonly used, would be 'moche'.
