The slang term boujee is a modern spelling of bougie, which comes from the French word bourgeois, historically referring to the middle class and later used to describe people seen as materialistic or status-conscious. In African American Vernacular English, bougie emerged in the mid-20th century as a critique of those aspiring to or displaying middle-class or upper-class lifestyles, and in the 2010s the alternate spelling boujee took on a more celebratory tone, especially in hip-hop culture. Popularized globally by the 2016 hit song "Bad and Boujee" by Migos, the term describes someone who enjoys a luxurious, stylish, and high-class lifestyle, often with the implication that they have earned it and still maintain a connection to their roots. Depending on context, it can be used as a compliment for sophistication and success or playfully to tease someone for indulging in expensive tastes.
