It's easy, you just add -ie to bourgeois.
The -ie ending is from French and is like a hand-wavy ending meaning "that lot".
Happy to help

I'm pretty sure it's spelled 'bolognese' 🤔

i think thats the correct spelling
for anyone actually wondering, its:
bourgeoisie
Written exactly the way it's pronounced (unironically if you're French)
that is why I just call em bougie
and this, people, is how language evolves
for reference it's "borgare" in swedish, which is satisfyingly similar (granted it's the same fucking word so yeah)
I love hearing about the evolution of languages. a third of the shorts I see on YouTube are etymology types and it's been so fun learning how stuff changes over time, where words come from. its so cool and really shows how language is designed to be a fluid construct
Bourgeoisie?
That's french for "rich stuck up idiot".
Idk I personally prefer calling them Capitalists (clear and concise definition) :3
