Question:
Can somebody petition he's/her third cousin?
Answer:
Ask CIC or Aikido251 who both know all the answers.
Idiot Stuart don't know the answer....
Why would I tell you the answer if I did or didn't know it, since you
know all the answers or know how to get them. Nobody needs to give you,
or do you give yourself wrong answers too? You'd better call CIC to be
sure!
loosely translated means "tacky", as I believe a previous poster
stated.
It is a slang Quebecois word, so you will not find it in the dictionary.
Some people call Celine a bit ketaine.
Selon moi, "ketaine" est equivalent a "tacky", en Anglais.
Qu'est ce que ca veut dire alors, Aikido?
Ca se traduise comment en Anglais?
Des autres peuvent nous aider peut-etre a regler ca?
Merci.
According to me "ketaine" is equivalant to "tacky" in English
What does it mean then, Aikido?
What is the English translation?
Maybe others can help us resolve this?
sometimes spelled as quetaine, is a very popular word in quebec.
It means outdated, demoded. It is similar to "ringard" in standard french.
If you live in quebec, you better equip yourself with a dictionary of
quebecois on top of your Larousse.
Think "corny" is a better word to describe quetaine
Indeed it does mean tacky ... in quebecois, it means tacky in a rustic,
hick kind of way, but still very much tacky.
As is often quoted Celine Dion is described as ketaine.
Kétaine ou Quétaine est un mot péjoratif pour décrire une chose ou un
personne au Québec.
Autrement dit, pour qu'une chose ou une personne soit qualifiée de quétaine,
il faut qu'elle soit de mauvais goût, d'un aspect douteux, peux harmonieux,
dénotant certainement provenir d'une classe sociale inférieure.
Billy is correct...."tacky" will go in idiot history like the "pillow testing"
of Stuart Brooks....
I think it can mean tacky, but that it is larger in scope and meaning. That
is, that "quétaine" refers to anything or anyone that is in poor taste, is
aesthetically unappealing or is base and lacking in class.
Cheap, garish and gaudy come to mind, but I think their translations are
merely parasynonyms of "quétaine". Maybe kitsch is the closest.
