A term of reference used by the already rich to describe people who had the audacity to become rich by actually working for it rather than by patronage and inheritance.
One could argue that the only validity of the derogatory moniker is for those who have more money than class - but then that could be said of the more traditional rich.

Nouveau geek (French for “new geek”), refers to a person who has acquired considerable technical savvy without the deep foundational knowledge of a computer scientist. This term is generally to emphasize that the individual was previously part of a different educational curriculum, such as liberal arts, and that such education has not necessarily provided the means for the development of web sites or the use of gadgets that were previously unobtainable, but rather the Socratic drive to keep questioning, learning, creating, viewing source, copying and pasting, and using WordPress themes and widgets. The term can also be used in a derogatory fashion by hard core techies, for the purposes of intellectual distinction, to describe persons with newfound knowledge as lacking the experience or finesse to use technology in the same manner as the “old geek”—persons who actually know how to write software from scratch but often have no interpersonal skills or the ability to apply complex concepts to modern or everyday business scenarios.

(n) those who have recently become cannabis consumers, or people that have come out in the open about their pot-smoking since it has become mainstream and they don't have to hide it anymore.
The cannabis industry has become so socially acceptable and, dare I say "cool," that a whole multitude of nouveau-fumands has emerged to make consuming cannabis trendy and intriguing.
