Definition of "bobo"

The small things—an olive grove or a small chapel—take on greater meaning to a Bobo on vacation.

2000, David Brooks, Bobos in Paradise […] , Simon & Schuster, page 207

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.
