An expression used to describe a person or thing that is exceedingly fabulous or extravagant— to an extent that is comparable to the lavishness of slaveowner / plantation culture in the American Antebellum South, the
time period which the 1939 movie “Gone with the Wind” is set in.
Popularized in late
2012 by former Miss
USA, Kenya Moore, during an episode in Season
5 of the reality TV series, The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
