Is there any single word to describe, as the title says, tacky rich/trashy wealthy people?
The word nouveau riche describes this pretty nicely, while ODE lists the following as synonyms:
the new rich;
parvenus, arrivistes, upstarts, social climbers, vulgarians.
nouveau riche does describe what I'm looking for pretty nicely but it's not something I've ever heard used and the synonyms don't exacty describe this properly.
Any ideas?
Edit: maybe new money is the term I'm looking for...
