What's this type of person called?

Help me find a term that perfectly sums up someone who is quite posh (private school), cultured, educated and likes to party (cocaine, clubbing etc)? So, in the case of a female they will dress up in a bunny girl outfit and go clubbing type thing. All very liberal.

Middle aged. Totally functioning but burns the candle.

Am sure there must be a trendy phrase for it, like bougie. IT girl, society girl or sloane used to be.

But I don't know it.

Just asking because I have found myself in a social circle full of people like this and I'm not one (comp school, not an attention seeker but sociable like 'normal' working class people are).

I just need something that sums up the cultural difference effectively.

I work in marketing and I can tell you that every marketing department in the world will have ‘persona’ profiles for certain market groups.

Well yes, you have target markets, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't include slurs for them when creating your adverts. Besides, how many adverts do we see that we hate because they're insulting?

Judging from the responses, maybe the correct label is "MNer" 😅

Why are they slurs? They are descriptions of socio-economic status, behaviour/likes and interest and beliefs.

Perfect segmentation criteria.

ok, well I guess I took the piss a bit about the dancing and wine. But only a bit.. You see memes and comedy sketches all over the place depicting the privilege and entitlement like that. It seems posh alcoholism is totes accepted.

actualiy, it’s Tilly in Miranda. That’s who I’m thinking of. Crossed with patsy from Ab Fab.

Well this woman loves to write about trite things, such as school run mums and their outerwear and what it says about them as a person , full of misogyny and sexism

I probably loosely fit into this category except I've never ever met anyone ever who has gone clubbing in a bunny outfit.

You are looking for a term for a middle aged, upper-class woman who likes to take drugs and go clubbing while dressed as a bunny girl, and you mean for it to be entirely neutral?

(Both male and female though). A Rah is someone that has wealthy parents, private school if not boarding school, hangs out in clubs like Boujis.

(Maybe I’m showing my age?!)

Nope I'm 28 and rahs is used usually to describe cocaine taking rich southerners who go to northern unis saying 'rah, where's my baccy?' (It's unisex though).

Maybe she's a mature rah.

Ha! I’m northern and went to a northern uni and it was exactly this even 25 years ago!!!

Then they all moved to Fulham and Clapham and Battersea. I don’t know if that’s a thing anymore.

There are two women in the text and the first one is more innocent.

That's how I evaluate it.

You have to work with the text, no?

Stripeypyjamas · 18/09/2023 14:58

Sounds like Blur' charmless man. So maybe the opposite is a charming woman?
