My Dad was a factory worker. Does that count as bougeois? His main hunting buddy was also a factory worker, although he later became a supervisor. (Big Whoop, I worked there too so I know that's not biggie). Their other buddy was a mechanic for the railroad(although his son is 2 star Army general). They were my introduction to the "gun culture". Were they bougeois? Am I?
If you have a dog as a pet, not a working dog, that's bougeois.
I forgot where I came across it for certain. I think it was a recent show on PBS about dogs. Once folks had an existance that started providing more than the bare necessities, and they could start behaving as consumers.
