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.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
