Booshie refers to a person who affects a luxurious and refined lifestyle through their mannerisms, speech, dress, and appearance. This term is often used to describe someone who has risen above their previous socio-economic status, typically as a result of education or employment, and seeks to distance themselves from their former background. Despite their efforts to appear upper-class, they may revert to their previous habits and behaviors when under pressure. The term is often used in reference to individuals from a particular race or ethnic group.
