A boujee check is a lighthearted reality audit to determine how far someone's tastes, habits, or spending have drifted into high-maintenance territory. It can be self-initiated or called out by friends when the evidence starts piling up — the $18 smoothie, the upgraded hotel room 'just because,' the insistence on a specific brand of sparkling water. It's usually affectionate rather than critical. The boujee check isn't about shaming — it's about acknowledging the upgrade arc with at least a degree of self-awareness.
