An abbreviation of the
French "bourgeois." A critical term used to describe
people, things, and places that are definitively high-class. Something that is affected, inauthentic, gentrified, exclusive, and/or otherwise sheltered from the dirt and grime of the real
world.
Example 1:
Dick: Wanna go into the city?
Jane: Yeah, I've gotta get out of this boujee town. It'
s become so gentrified ever since the new homeowner'
s association plowed on in. Let'
s get some tacos from that dude at the corner of Market and 6th.
Example 2:
Kate Spade: Let us go in my dad'
s Ford Explorer to the Whole Foods/Andronico'
s/Trader Joe'
s/(place your pretentious grocer here) on the way home from the symphony.
Jordan Catalano: Yeah right, Kate Spade. I'd rather ride my bike to corner store/farmer'
s market/etc instead of supporting the overhead of that boujee place.
