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.
