bourgerie 

(alt. spellings: bougerie, bourgery)
(pronounced: boo'shure-ee)
noun.
An object, or group/class of objects, (e.g., clothing, accessories, furniture, housewares, etc.) meant to bestow identification with the upper echelon of the social and economic classes. Particularly evident amongst those of modest upbringing wishing to gain entry into, or at least appear as if one belongs to, the higher socioeconomic classes even though they themselves do not have a sustainable wealth-base to support such extravagances or the associated standard of living.

Usually used in a pejorative or derogative fashion as it relates to a lack of self-esteem or self-worth compensated for through a showy display of externalized material worth/value (through recognized or iconic brands/objects usually associated with a higher social or economic class than one's own). The differentiating criteria being whether said object is an extravagance or something that would be a reasonable expense within one's economic means; and whether it's appreciated for it's showy display and socio-economic associations, or appreciated (usually as a one-off) for it's inherent beauty or value.

(See also bourgy/bougie, nouveau riche)

1. She's usually decked out in bourgerie from head to toe -- God forbid someone mistake her for middle class.

2. Yes, I did notice the Rolex. I believe he has all the left arm sleeves of his suit jackets shortened so that piece of bourgerie isn't missed by anyone.

petite bourgeoisie 

In a strict Marxist sense, the petite bourgeoisie represents the middle managers who are capable of purchasing the labor power of the proletariat (working class), but also do not wholly own the means of production. The key defining factor of this group involves the attitudes, values, and opinions they support and display. Members of this social group strive to mimic the behaviors and practices of the Haute Bourgeoisie (upper class, the one percent if you will), even though their own incomes are nowhere near the level of those they deify. They often have an aggressive disdain for the poor even though most of them are a single paycheck away from joining their ranks. Modernly, most of them purchase goods and services on credit, providing for the illusion that they have the same kind of purchasing power that the wealthy do. They use this artificial purchasing power to obtain nice clothes, cars, and jewelry (swag). Most of them are social/fiscal conservatives, Social Darwinists, Objectivists/Ayn Rand fans and/or libertarians. They also have nigh-psychotic delusions of grandeur, thinking that if they just "work hard enough" that they too will join the ranks of the economic elite someday.

"So my buddy only makes 30k a year, just bought a house, a BMW, a rolex, and has a full wardrobe of designer clothes. He also lectures me every day that he 'earned it' from 'working hard' and that anyone who doesn't have what he's got is somehow inferior to him."

"petite bourgeoisie scum."

Tird Burgerler 

A person who does not know how to spell the words turd and burglar. Not to be confused with a turd burglar, although it is likely that many turd burglars are also flagrant tird burgerlers.

Nature abhors a tird burgerler.

Burgeristan 

The United States, the land of the free and the home of the brave A BIG SIC

Synonym: Burgerstan

Never read Wikipedia. It's a forum for burgers to throw tantrums at best and a very terrifying covert Burgeristani propaganda operation at worst.

Bourgeois Pig 

Someone who acts snobbish because of their socioeconomic status, especially if the image of their affluence is false.

Andrew is such a bourgeois pig, a few days ago I saw him playing golf with the CEO of the company with those plastic golf clubs spray painted silver. What a cheap ass, we all know that he can barely afford the knockoffs he always wears!
