I've been listening to the Studio 54 channel on SiriusXM, so I went right to "boogie" as well.  LOL

A Candle.

An instrument for exploring the inside of the body.

Assumed to be rich people stuff. ( Term commonly used by YouTubers to dismiss an expensive item they've purchased so their followers won't think they're too rich for their viewers. Also used as a bank-handed compliment).

 Yes!! My daughter uses this world to jokingly describe herself. With the amount of shopping she does, it's accurate. Before my Mother passed away, she had her saying it too. My Mom always told my daughter she had champagne taste on a beer budget.

This.

It might have other meanings, but when you hear it on comedies, reality shows, from comics, it means the above and is meant as a put down.

A couple examples of people who are bougie would be the neighbors in “Christmas Vacation” and Hyacinth Bucket on “Keeping Up Appearances.”
