This term is used to describe the common mentality, usually held by mildly trashy people, that everyone trashier than them is indeed trashy but they fail to recognize their own trashiness.
I'm going to burn this plastic in a barrel behind my house.

That's trashy.

I know I'm not trashy. People in the ghetto are trashy

You have a case of trash relativity my friend.

You really shouldn't walk over furniture like that.

Why?

It ruins the furniture over time and it's trashy

Omg It's not trashy
