My Own Version of "How Bourgie Are You?"

It appears we are all snobs about something. Some of us are simply bigger snobs than others.

Buzzfeed has been doing a variety of quizzes lately, one of them being "how bourgie are you?". Bourgie means uppidity, snobby, and thinking you are above most people.  I believe I am far from that. However, according to the quiz,  I was 80% bourgie. Not that I trust every quiz Buzzfeed makes up. However, looking at the questions make me think and reflect. I then decided to conjure up my own list of signs and such that you may be bourgie or "bougie" as a slang term.

1. You refuse to shop at Walmart or Sam's Club, especially for clothes. Target and Costco are your places.

2. You won't buy anything from a yard sale, trading post or thrift shop.

3. Everything you own is name brand.

4. You get a professional full body wax once per month.

5. You have recently gotten braces as an adult not because you need them, but to cover up Michael Strahan type gaps.

6. You take about 50 selfies/day on social media.

7. You refuse to drive a domestic car.

8. You have a housekeeper, nanny and/or gardener

9. You're in a book club

10. You have a Blu Ray player and HDTV and refuse to watch any program or DVD that is otherwise.

11.  You only vacation outside the country.

12.  You have to have the latest tech gadget ( iPhone, Samsung Galaxy phone) the day it drops.

14. No one ever sees you dressed down.

15.  You send your children to private schools.

17. You do not buy anything secondhand. Everything you own is brand new.

18. You refuse to live in a small town.

19. You will not go hunting, fishing or grow your own produce. In short, you do not try to fetch your own food.

20. You refuse to drink water from a faucet, even well water.

21. You no longer read a book unless it's on your tablet.

22. You only go out to lounges and upscale bars, never a hole in the wall club

23. You won't eat any type of ethnic food (chitlins, hog mauls, pig feet, etc)

24. You drive a Prius or other smartcar

25. You won't eat out at places such as Applebee's or Ruby Tuesdays. It has to be upscale with an expensive wine menu.

26. You refuse to live in a trailer or trailer park

27. You won't buy meats and veggies from the supermarket

28. Every male must be circumcised and wear his hair short

29. You still believe in and practice the legendary "brown paper bag" test.

30. You won't allow your children to swim in a creek or river.

31. You only drink bottled water like Fiji or Smart water. No tap water, especially city water.

OK this is all I have for now.
