bobo

Short for "bourgeois bohemian" in fact another form of poser... pretending "acting" to be a dirtbag or grunge type, often in ski towns or outdoors activities areas - climbing, wind-surfing, kayaking, etc ... being the most hip, non-capitalist, vegan, supporter of causes. Often found in the hippest places in Latin America, Palestine, Africa, acting like the locals. When they are out of money and when the going gets rough they do not sell their truck or pawn their skis but go to the bank, discretely find their credit card or have their parents bail them out, supply an airline ticket or hospital bill. A covert "trustafarian"

She's not a dirtbag snowborder... she's a DuPont, a bobo...

You wait tables all summer; bobo there goes home to Cape Cod or Palo Alto.

"Yes the boys picked out a dozen DVDs and brought their I-Phone chargers"

Pinche gringo, pinche gringitta.
