A person who lacks class. Trashy people exist among all races and socioeconomic levels. Trashy people lack meaningful goals and purpose in life. They are not very concerned with academic subjects, worldly matters, nor culture, but are more amused with unimportant matters and simple activities such as celebrity gossip, shopping for
useless merchandise (like cigarettes), and excessive partying into late hours. Other than spending money, trashy people contribute little or nothing to
society, which is why they are associated with "
trash". Due to low self-esteem and insecurity, trashy people inhale a lot of filth from cigarettes, attempt to overcompensate and "try too
hard". Examples are wearing excessive amounts of make-up, wearing provocative clothing (whether they're in shape or not), driving a vehicle that is excessively large for their needs (
e.g. a Hummer), getting
drunk and behaving obnoxiously in clubs and bars, yelling at strangers from
car windows, making derogatory statements, promiscuity, and talking loudly in profane and explicit language in public. Although they
may think they're cool, most other people find them obnoxious, stinky, immature, irresponsible, and unattractive.
The cast members of Jersey Shore are trashy.
Richmond Street in
Toronto, and rue Crescent in Montreal, are full of clubs and
bars frequented by trashy smokers and hoes (not the garden tool).
