Four Words Bougie People Use To Sound Extra AF

Four Words You Need To Start Using To Sound Extra AF

Woke. FML. Swag. Hella. TGIF. Spill the tea. Yassss. Bye, Felicia! These are modern slang words used by youngsters and the trendy crowd. And on occasion there is nothing wrong with sounding informal. You just gotta be mindful of your surroundings, because it’s not always appropriate to sound super hip and à la mode and unrefined.

People’s perception of you can be positive or negative simply by your vernacular. Which is why it is beneficial to increase the inventory of your lexicon, that way you can always have a myriad of words at your disposal.

So stick with me, darling, and let’s learn some posh jargon together.

dash·ing | adjective

/ˈdaSHiNG/

“The groom looked dashing in his tuxedo.”

“Damn, baby! You look good” is usually what I say to my husband when he looks Extra AF. But when he looks elegant and nice, I tell him he looks handsome. I feel like in America we usually compliment our men by calling them handsome or nice. Or I’ve heard the phrase, “Wow, you clean up nice.”

I would love to incorporate the word dashing into my vocabulary. It sounds elegant and a great way to make my man feel special. Although, I’m gonna have to resist the urge to speak with a British accent when I say it aloud, because it just sounds like a word only bougie British people use, am I right?

op·u·lent | adjective

/ˈäpyələnt/

“The opulent comfort of The Beverly Hills Hotel.”

I love the word opulent, it sounds so ostentatiously rich and luxurious. Unfortunately, I rarely use the word. I mean you can’t scramble a couple of eggs and call them opulent, because then the word becomes uninspiring. Trust me, $$$ opulent $$$ is a million dollar word and one which I rarely use. This is like a JLo or Kardashian word, because they are surrounded by opulence and excess on a daily basis.

I am a very picky person, and even though something is pretty or expensive, I rarely feel inspired to use the word opulent. I’ve been to the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, and that destination is opulent. The Getty Museum in Los Angeles and Malibu are opulent, both leave me breathless. I’ve visited The Palace of Versailles and that regal residence is opulent.

Opulent is great word to use to sound Extra AF, but remember it’s an extraordinary word that must be used few and far between.

en·chant·ing | adjective

/inˈCHan(t)iNG, enˈCHan(t)iNG/

“Her wedding was an enchanting celebration.”

Yes, enchanting is definitely kind of a Disney word. Again, this is another word that I wouldn’t use every single day. Right, like, you wouldn’t describe your weekly trip to Costco as enchanting. So remember to use this word in a moderate manner.

I love to use enchanting when the occasion arises, like at weddings, because brides usually look enchanting on their big day. Also, every year I look forward to visiting The Flower Fields in Carlsbad because the many acres of colorful ranunculi in bloom is an enchanting and breathtaking experience (click here to enjoy The Flower Fields post).

dé·colle·tage | noun

/dāˌkäləˈtäZH, deˌkäləˈtäZH/

“To really address aging issues around the décolletage, your routine should also include a nighttime treatment product for the area.”

Every single day when I do my skincare routine I have décolletage on repeat in my head. I just love the way it sounds. It’s an exaggerated and extra word that I imagine only bougie people use to sound Extra AF. I’m sure you can say, “the upper part of a woman’s torso”, or, “my neck and chest area” but that doesn’t sound extra at all.

The word screams old Hollywood glamour, silk robes, satin sheets, and fancy boudoirs. Like, I imagine a glamorous woman during the 1940’s, 50’s, or 60’s smearing a cream on to her décolletage area during her nightly skincare routine.

Dashing, enchanting, opulent, and décolletage are the four words bougie people use to sound Extra AF. Obviously, this was meant to be a playful way to introduce some elegant sounding words into your lexicon, hopefully you found it fun and informative. However, if these four words don’t sound like terminology you’d ever use, then ignore this post and be yourself 🙂
