The term shabby is used in Spanish territory as an adjective . The concept can describe what is of low quality, poorly cared for or poor . For example: “Last night I saw a really crappy movie,” “We are staying in a crappy hotel that is one kilometer from the center,” “Maria has her house decorated with very crappy objects.”
In the case of objects and places, the term shabby is a kind of "wild card" that allows us to refer to a large number of negative characteristics, although they all point to a lack of quality , a poor finish. Let's start by analyzing the first of the three examples presented in the previous paragraph: a film can be described in this way because it presents a predictable plot, untalented actors, a cheesy script or unbelievable special effects, among many other features.
A shabby hotel, on the other hand, has probably been decorated in bad taste , using decorations that are too cheap, with a very busy or bland color combination, has a service that leaves much to be desired, does not stand out for its level of hygiene and its walls do not adequately isolate noise. Simply put, no person who can choose a better hotel would go to a crappy one.
The third example can be related to the previous one, since we are talking about a house whose decoration gives us the idea of "poor quality", "cheap items", "bad taste". Of course, no one is obliged to follow a line when buying or decorating their home, and for this reason you should not allow the opinions of others to condition you.
This brings us to the importance of taking care of our words when passing judgment on the things and people around us: using terms like crappy can be funny if with a group of friends we are referring to a movie that we didn't like. , but very cruel if we are talking about a creation of one of them, for example.
The notion of shabby can also be applied to miserable , mean or stingy people: “We have a shabby mayor who does nothing to improve the lives of his people,” “Stay away from that shabby kid,” “How shabby your boss is.” ! "I should increase your salary."
It can be said that shabby is an adjective with a pejorative meaning. Its etymology is not clear: it is believed that it could derive from the French croûte , which in turn comes from the Latin crusta . Croûte means “crust” or “crust,” so the meaning of tacky may have begun to be forged from the disposable pieces of food. The shabby, in this sense, has no value.
Other words derive from the idea of shabby. The group of shabby things or individuals is called cutrerío ( "This place is a cutrerío" ). The shabby , shabby or shabby , for its part, is the condition of shabby ( "The shabbyness of this bar disgusts me" , "I can't tolerate such shabby" , "The shabbyness of stealing from a child is outrageous" ).
Cutre , finally, is the name of a stream found in the Spanish province of Oviedo . Also called Cuti , it has two main arms and its waters are abundant with trout, a fish that represents an important income for the fishing industry.
The Cutre stream is formed with the waters coming from the Recuesto Reservoir and the slopes of Mount La Tana, parishes of Roces and Tremañes, respectively. In addition to the two main arms, it has two bridges; Its waters descend from the hill on which the parish of Ceares is located and from the springs of the town of Gijón, before flowing into the sea.
