Word of the Week - 53

CHEESY

This week's word is an adjective which is used to describe something that is of poor and cheap quality and is often seen as being in bad taste. The thing being described often tries to give the impression that it is in fact of good quality. It can also be used to describe something that is really common and has been seen or heard many times before, which is the case when we use it to refer to music or films. The meaning is a mixture of hortera, cursi and cutre in Spanish.
