artsy

When the pianist performed his art filled with his explosive passion, the artsy child shooked and was filled with such an uncontrollable emotion, so strong that he was unable to hold back his tears.

Artsie

Artsie refers to a group of university students who study arts or sciences. These students are inferior to Engineering students. The exception to this rule is:
students in Chemical Engineering are sometimes also referred to artsies by their engineering brethren.

We can see an artsie based on how tired he or she looks. It is common that these breeze through a degree students never look tired, since they never have to do any real work, or actually study a useful topic.

artsy

an overused and ambiguous adjective GENERALLY used by people who are phobic to art used to label anything involving it...the connotations are endless. It's only appropriately used when applied to some hipster that needs a reality check; using histogram or any of those distorting phone apps to make your pictures look vintage does not make you an artist or even artistic. If you come across any misuse of the word, for the love of god, tell whoever said it to stfuad
(correct use)
naive kid: holy shit did you see those photos of the beach that Julia just posted on Facebook?! she did it all on her phone and even reorganized them to fit the same frame...they look so cool...so talented. she should apply to RISD or something...
smarter kid: *sees uploaded via histogram* that bitch is just artsy...she's got no talent; the programmers who designed this app do

(misuse)
