bobo

A materialistic person who affects an anti-materialistic persona.

Peruse the Paris papers these days and you'll notice an obsession with bobos: no, they're not a team of cheerleaders or a troupe of clowns, but rich, artsy types known as bourgeois bohemians, who are now pretty much the tip of Parisian tastemakers. So when friends who were recently staying in Saint Germain des Pres asked me where to go to people watch, I told them to head for the Ninth Arrondissement citadel of bobo cool. […] The food’s better than might be expected at such a furiously fashionable address, and for an amusing eyeful of Parisian bobos in all of their splendor, this place can’t be beat.

A self-styled bodyguard or groupie of the nouveau riche (such as a professional athlete or musician).

An imitation of something, particularly a well known product, usually lower in quality than the original.

A boo-boo (a minor injury).

Alternative letter-case form of bobo (“a bourgeois-bohemian”).
