Stemming from the French word bourgeoisie. Pronounced "boo-zhee"
Someone who is class-conscious, with educated and discerning tastes, and interested in enjoying the finer things in life. It is definitely not high-class, aristoratic, snooty, or snobbish. “Bourgie” is as much an idea, and a state of mind, as it is an attitude towards enjoying good food, good friends, and good conversation, everyday. It evokes a mood of simple elegance, casual yet sophisticated—modern.

Middle class. The middle by definition is mediocre, homogeneous, and dull. Lukewarm and spit out by higher powers. Of the three classes - Aristocratic, Bourgeoisie, and the Poor - the "bourgy" are the worst as they strive for mediocrity.
