The grown-up word for hipster. Anything that dirty, hippie, English-major types use to make regular people feel inadequate and uncultured.
Alternatively, anything that regular/already established in their career people would disregard as shit. A term used to protect those "true artists whose genius is just misunderstood."

Dirty, hippie, English-major type: "Have you read my latest poetry book?"
Normal person: "That was poetry? It was just your grocery list repeated in a different order on every page."
Dirty, hippie, English-major type: "Ugh! It's avant garde. You just can't understand true art."

The best kept secret of clean crotched women across the globe. A heavy duty povidone-iodine douche. Basically, the last over-the-counter resort women have.
woman 1: If it wasn't for vagi-gard, I would have been in the ER for sure.
woman 2: Thank heavens. Want to scissor with that extra clean bearded clam of yours?
(Scissoring ensues. Without a funky mess mind you.)

People who just don't give a Fuck.
"A Waste."
they go against what is onsidered the "Norm"
and partake in true innovativeness.
they are not a stereotype. only few people are truly "Avant Garde" in the true sense of the term.

1. a pretentious way to call something pretentious (if you're an idot/hack/wanker), typically accompanied by a sarcastic smirk of perceived superiority and the speech pattern often associated with witty remarks, but missing the intelligent aspect of such;
2. a segue into snark, when bumbling blowhards overuse the word to describe things that aren't even remotely avant garde;
3. a way to acknowledge the originality (and often, the unconventionality) of a work, typically with the implication that it is advancing its medium rather that simply being ludicrous, whilst eschewing the ethnocentric desire to make such a comment in one's native tongue (assuming you're not French).

1. *Looking at abstract art and rolling eyes* "This is so avant garde." *smirks, sighs, and walks away to repeat this pattern with all other paintings in MOMA, tiring his/her over-smirked face in the process*.
2. "Have you guys seen Transformers 5 yet?"
"No"
"It's pretty avant garde guys you should all check it out!"
"What do you mean by 'avant garde'?"
"I mean uh, that it was pretty damn cool."
"Shut the fuck up and die."
"Heh..."
"No really," *pulls out knife due to anti-gun laws*
"...I've had it with people like you who hear some word on O'Reilly's word of the day and shit it out as if you actually understand what it means and what context it should be used in."
*stabs person to death in the skull in a triangular fashion, then pulls out said persons eyes and places them inside the triangular hole, vomits in it, and remarks*
"Now that is avant garde."
3. Such and such work: "___insert work here___", "is Avant-garde".
