low-brow, scummy, a "dive"

My comment:

You don't give enough context; are you talking about a thing or a person or a place? Also, who is this text to be read by? "Grotty" is chiefly a British expression; Americans would be more likely to say "gross", meaning repulsive, disgusting, dirty, etc. "Gauche" is used in Amer. English for a manner-less person. "A greasy spoon" or a "dive" are names for low-quality restaurants and bars. "Low-class" or "without class" are used for people who have no manners. "Corny" is used for "cursi", when referring to a joke or a person.
