    Bourgeois is a French word that English borrowed to describe things connected to the middle class — especially their values, like caring a lot about money, property, comfort, and respectability. It is often used critically, especially by people with more left-wing or artistic views, to describe someone or something as too conventional, materialistic, or concerned with appearances rather than with bigger ideas, art, or the struggles of working people. So calling someone 'bourgeois' is usually a mild insult, not a neutral description.
