Tawdry sounds like Laundry -> clothes -> gaudy/showy/cheaply shining clothes

any1 who asks dowry from their bahus is a <b>fucking</b> tawdry

TAWDRY = TAsteless + gAUDY.

Sounds like "To Oddly Dry" yourself in a way that others can see your body (It could be both Showy and Immoral)

Tawdry is Vulgarity - to be showy, garish or flashy - something that is unpresentable and ungraceful.
