trite.

klakibí, a. Over-the-top, embarrassing, lacking in self-awareness; of art, likely to discomfort its intended audience.

usage: Usually used to describe an action, statement, or work of art which results in an experience of éldutu. Calling a person klakibí is not unprecedented but is much more dismissive and a little strange, in the same way calling an author 'badly written' is more severe than calling a book the same.
