nouveau riche

nouveau riche means "newly rich" in french. One who has recently become rich, especially one who flaunts newly acquired wealth.

nouveau riche is a term, usually derogatory, to describe persons who acquire wealth within their generation, and spend it conspicuously. The implication is that, being of lower- or middle-class origin, these individuals lack the taste to properly use wealth. Hence, this class of people is sometimes ill-regarded by old money as culturally inferior, comparatively lacking in pedigree and subtlety.

The benchmark of the "nouveau riche" is their acquiring posessions which are touted to them as being the sort of things that rich people would possess. "Old money" in traditional European societies have inherited a large house filled with well-built furniture acquired over the centuries. Their cars are not necessarily the most expensive and capable, but have a bit of restraint, or else they disguise their social position in cars of the middle rank. During the Great Depression, Chryslers, for example, were sold to such people for this reason. They fit within a social milieu in which everyone knows everyone else and has for generations. The "nouveau riche" in essence try to crash this party by buying everything they need to show that they have money not merely within one generation but within a few years.

Paris Hilton, jumped out of her new viper car, wearing a tight skimpy dress, clutching her tiny dog, and started posing for the camera's, telling everybody how 'sexy' and 'rich' she is.

A group of conservative Brooks Brothers/Polo cladded teenagers, rolled their eyes, and thought, "nouveau riche."

rich-nigga

A nigga who made it out the hood. He has money, a big house, and can't forget bitches. A rich nigga ain't a broke nigga. He still wears gold, speaks slang, and smokes weed just like he did in the hood. The hood-ness of a rich nigga never leaves whether he is poor or rich.

"That's some rich-nigga shit."
"Nigga you iced out, you're a rich-nigga."

Rich Kid

I'll just give the definition of rich, middle class and poor kid.

Rich kid: A kid who gets everything they want, their parents have good jobs, has a good life and has a lot of expensive things. Their parents generally fall into the upper middle class/lower upper class or the upper class.

Middle class kid: A kid who has some things, their parents have decent jobs, they have a good life and has a lot of average priced things.

Poor kid: A kid who doesn't have a lot, their parents may have a low paying job or no job, they have a decent life and doesn't have very much.

Rich kid: My parents bought me a hoverboard and a $300 pair of beats! Damn straight.

Middle class kid: Lucky!

Poor kid: GOOD FOR YOU

Last year my rich uncle Tim added a Corvette along side his 1964 Jaguar E-Type coupe in East Hampton. And the best part is he lets me drive the 'vette with the valet key he gave me!
