<ahs-sten-tay-shish>
gaudy; classy; showy;
something flashy meant to impress others.
Her ostentatious hat had flowers and diamonds on it. Everyone gasped when they saw it.
Memory trick:
ostentatious reminds of ostrich.
an ostrich is flashy.
At work:
Our presentation should be ostentatious. Let's add dancing clowns with banjos.
