Comment on Palatial Home
Why not gaudy?? It means
Good question, Tushar!
Good question, Tushar!
I think GAUDY is a good answer; however, I don't thinks it's as good as DOWDY.
DOWDY connotes plain, simple, unfashionable (and even inexpensive), which is in stark contrast to what one might find in a palatial home that's furnished with a fortune.
GAUDY, on the other hand, connotes a sense of tastelessness, but this is not necessarily associated with a lack of money. A rich person can have home that is both GAUDY and palatial.
Does that help?
Cheers,
Brent
I agree with you about this.
It's hard to predict how many
It's hard to predict how many people know the definition of each word (like DOWDY). I'd say it's either a medium or hard word.
