This entry lists both “bad habit” and “bad taste” as translations of 悪趣味, but my research suggests that this word is almost always used in the sense of “bad taste”. Should this entry be updated?

Maybe “nasty behavior” (one of the JMdict translations) would be a better alternate meaning?
I went looking for uses of 悪趣味 in the wild and I agree that “bad habit” doesn’t really seem to work for any variation.

Hey there! The team got back to us and agreed with your suggestion. We’ve decided to make the following changes:
悪趣味 (45) - Moved “bad habit” to the warning list, moved “bad taste” to be the primary meaning, added “poor taste,” “distasteful,” “tasteless,” “inappropriate,” and “tacky” to the allow list, updated the meaning explanation, and added entry to pop-up messages to update for “bad habit."
