喜樂美語
  1. 1(食物)沒味道、淡而無味; (言行/裝飾)沒品味、不得體

    Tasteless has two very different uses. Food that is tasteless has no flavor at all - it's bland and boring to eat. But a joke, a comment, or a piece of decoration can also be called tasteless, which means it shows poor judgment - it's rude, offensive, or just wrong for the situation, even if the person didn't mean any harm.
