a whole new meaning to the word "gauche"

"Gauche" is an interesting word, Capfka.

If "adroitless" is the art of making the easy look difficult, "gauche" is the art of making the easy look disgusting.

"Gauche" is to "bad taste" what "sprezzatura" is to "meticulous". It gives "bad taste" a certain je ne sais quoi.

"Gauche" is becoming fashionable again, judging from the popularity of movies like "Dumb and Dumber".
