A boujee fail is when someone's attempt at elevated luxury spectacularly falls short — the expensive restaurant with terrible food, the designer item that looks cheap in person, the luxury trip that was actually a nightmare. The boujee fail is funnier than a regular failure because the stakes were self-inflicted and the expectations were so specific. It's the universe's way of reminding you that price and quality don't always correlate, no matter how confident your Yelp filter was.
