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.
