It’s short for the French word “bourgeois” which means middle class. It does not mean fancy, rich, elegant, etc like it’s being used. This is according to the DICTIONARY:
bour·geois
bo͝orˈZHwä,ˈbo͝orZHwä/Submit
adjective
1.
of or characteristic of the middle class, typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values or conventional attitudes.
"a rich, bored, bourgeois family"
synonyms: middle-class, propertied; conventional, conservative, conformist; provincial, suburban, small-town; informalwhite-bread
"a bourgeois family"
noun
1.
a bourgeois person.
"a self-confessed and proud bourgeois"
synonyms: member of the middle class, property owner
"a proud bourgeois"
So when you call things and people BOUJEE, it does not mean high class, wealthy, fancy or the like. The word you should be using to describe those things is: SWANKY!
