EN: bourgeois humor; elitist humor
Jokes that only make sense if you've been to an international school, have a trust fund, or your family owns a hacienda. It's the kind of humor where the punchline is a reference to a European travel destination or a niche luxury brand. If you don't get it, you're probably not the target audience.
A modern Taglish sociological phrase combining 'burgis' (from Spanish 'burgués') and 'humor' (from English).
ROOT MEANING: bourgeois; upper-class
A descriptive phrase rather than a fixed lexical item. Used in social commentary and cultural analysis.
