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.

The happy advert showed a small black child with the caption ‘cheeky monkey’. The bourgeois-racists of the mainstream media made such a fuss about what they saw as overt racism in the advert they revealed for all to see their own unconscious, unacknowledged actual racism.

bousey

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.
Help! I'm being attacked by a bousey!
