(n., sing.; adj.) GAH-tsee. Garish, overly ornamented art, [architecture], or furnishings, often, but not exclusively Italian rococo and its (even worse) imitators. Examples include Louis XV furniture painted white with [gold trim] (e.g., Elena Ceausescu's collection), table lamps with oil that drips down the outside, and the Vittorio Emmanuel memorial in Rome. Derivation: mishearing of the word "gauche" mispronouced as "GAH-chee": as the misheard "GAH-tsee" sounded Italian and the term was often used of the yard ornaments of an [Italian-American] neighbor, the alternate version stuck.
