chintzy
語源 1
chintz + -y.
形容詞
chintzy (comparative chintzier, superlative chintziest)
- Of or decorated with chintz.
- 1995, David Ambrose, chapter 66, in Mother of God, London: Macmillan Publishers, →ISBN:
- This time she showed him into her living room instead of the kitchen. It was a little chintzier than it would have been if she'd actually owned the place, but he seemed to like it and sank comfortably into a loose-covered, old-fashioned, square-cornered sofa.
- 2014, Nikolaus Pevsner, “Soft Furnishings—Carpets, Curtains and Upholstery”, in Stephen Games, editor, Pevsner: The Complete Broadcast Talks: Architecture and Art on Radio and Television, 1945–1977, Farnham, Surrey; Burlington, Vt.: Ashgate Publishing, →ISBN, page 36:
- Well—there always were for instance chintzy flower patterns [for curtains] and imitation Turkey or Persian rugs. They have none of that gate-crashing quality[.] They keep in their place as a quiet accompaniment to your lives. I don't think anybody has ever really got tired of them. Only of course they are not very [lively] either. And while you certainly don't want the jazzy sort of [liveliness] every day—I said that before—you may want something else which the chintzy curtains or the Oriental rug don't give you.
- (figuratively) Tastelessly showy; cheap, gaudy, or tacky.
- 2002, Tiffanie DeBartolo, chapter 47, in God Shaped Hole: A Novel, Naperville, Ill.: Sourcebooks Landmark, →ISBN, page 282:
