【No. 0914】Mittomonai (みっともない - disgraceful)
Jun 19, 2017 13:32
When I started wearing a suit, my shirt tail was often put out from my pants.
Every time my mother found it, and she told me "mittomonai" (みっともない).
Mittomonai is an adjective that means that something looks awkward or someone looks disgraceful.
This term comes from "mitakumonashi" (見たくもなし), the literal meaning of which is "I don't want to see it."
In the past, mittomonai was used to mean that you don't want to see something, but now it's mostly used in the meaning that something/someone looks disgraceful.

みっともない
私はスーツを着始めた頃、よくシャツがズボンからはみ出していました。
それを見た私の母親は、私に「みっともない」と注意してくれました。
みっともないは、体裁がわるいことや、見苦しいことを表す形容詞です。
この言葉は、「見たくもない」を意味する「見たくもなし」が変化してできたものとされています。
かつては文字どおり、見たくないという意味で用いられていましたが、現在ではほとんど、体裁が悪い、見苦しいの意味で用いられます。

It's not disgraceful that you remembered to include the English word/phrase in the title this time but it is disgraceful that you forgot to capitalize it. ;o)
I agree with the rest of IrishAlex's suggestions. They were spot on.
