Hello, Bourgeois! Why does Mally keep saying that?

First, I want to say I like many of Mally's products. Sometimes, though, her personality is over the top, but I understand she is selling and trying to get customers excited.

HOWEVER! Does Mally even know the dictionary definition of Bourgeois or Bourgeoisie? First of all, bourgeois is an adjective. The noun is Bourgeoisie. These words refer to people of the middle class, and the adjective is "used variously to mean commonplace, respectable, smug, etc." according to Webster's New World Dictionary. The term originated during the French Revolution and was adopted by Karl Marx. It is not a complimentary term.

I know this is technical, and QVC is not an English class, but Mally please stop insulting me and my intelligence! Thank you.
