Burgheristh

/ˈbɜːrɡərɪʃ/ adjective

Definition

Characteristic of, befitting, or relating to a burgher; prosaic or middle-class in manner or taste.

Etymology

From burgher + -ish (suffix meaning somewhat or characteristic of), creating an adjective that often carries a mild derogatory tone.

Kelly Says

The -ish suffix here is subtly critical—calling something 'burgheristh' suggests it's not quite refined, a linguistic class judgment disguised as description.
