artsy fartsy

Trying too hard to be artistic; an overly strong interest in appearing to be aesthetically aware.

From a lyrical marriage of the words "art" (creative or imaginative activity such as painting or poetry) and "fart" (expelling gas). The implication is that the art (or person) in question is no more than a glorified fart.

I don't like his paintings - they're a little bit too artsy fartsy.

Artsy Fartsy

A really nerdy piece of art. Usually liked by confused poetic girls in their 20's. May contain polka-dots and ramdomly arranged colors.

Look at that pair of artsy fartsy reading glasses!
