Get the Bourne mug.(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)

Get the burse mug.A nightmarish creature, slightly larger than a human head, white, slimy and vaguely heart shaped. Its method of attack is to produce a feeling of extreme discomfort and sliminess in the stomach area of its victims by attaching itself to them. If attacked, the white slimy body would reveal a "bone"-shaped twig-like entity at its centre, which, when snapped in two, would yield *another* bousey. Using a form of mind control, the bousey would compel you to snap the twig and re-create itself once attacked.
