Adhesive; vulgar (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tacky

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'adhesive' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'vulgar' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for tacky that I've seen before include "Gaudy" , "Tastelessly showy" , "like gum" , "(Of glue) slightly sticky" , "Sticky; showing poor taste" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
