Bougie

Bougie is slang for bourgeois, meaning someone who is materialistic or pretentious. It is used to describe someone who is excessively concerned with their wealth and status.

In more detail, bougie originates from the French word “bourgeoisie,” referring to the middle class. In slang, it is used to mock individuals who prioritize appearances, luxury brands, and extravagant lifestyles. It often implies that they are snobbish or overly concerned with social status.

Examples:
1. “She only shops at designer stores and refuses to wear anything that’s not brand-name. She’s so bougie.”
2. “He insists on going to the most expensive restaurants, even though the food is mediocre. He’s such a bougie snob.”
