    bourgeoisie = noun for people who build wealth through means of ownership, especially the thousand or so billionaires who have the highest concentration of wealth

    bourgeois = adjective describing the above, whether literally or culturally (like "boujee"): "making money from the factory that you've been to is bourgeois." "dressing fancy and going to an opera is bourgeois"

    Like our comrade mentioned, we also using it semi-ironically or unironically toward the privileges of the American "middle class", some of which can accurately be described as "bourgeois"
