The structure is a blend of "bourgeois" (middle or upper class, often pretentious) and "ghetto" (urban, rough, or working class), forming a compound adjective that describes a mix of high class and street culture. It is used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and Black pop culture to describe someone or something that is pretentiously upscale yet still retains rough, ghetto, or hood elements, such as designer clothes worn with worn out sneakers, or formal speech mixed with slang.
