(chiefly, _, Australia, US, humorous) Target.
The Tarjay shopper pretended that they were shopping at a European fashion brand, while making clear that they knew they weren’t.
Origin: Written form of the pronunciation of the et in Target like ballet, as if it were a French word, so that it seems fancier than it really is. Origin information sourced from Wiktionary contributors (CC BY-SA 4.0).
