What is the difference between Preppy and Bougie?

[Jaysonava]

Bougie,
City people? middle class? Professional? Self made man? Success against all expectation?

Preppy.
Daddy's credit card? Spoilt? Successful relatives? High expectation?

Bougie is more new money. Preppy is more old money or new larping as old.

preps wouldn't wear Gucci, but they'd own the stock.

bougie types aren't as excited about J Press or patchwork madras at their cottage.

Thought so. I worked at a country club.

they were like "the women's quarters is too posh. Can we refurnish it so it's not so posh?"

... "We could refurnish the women's quarters ma'am

but I don't think that the act of refurnishing the women's quarters would have the desired effect reducing poshness."
