Fresh Prince
Philadelphia to mansion
Fresh Prince refers to the 1990s sitcom *The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air* or its star Will Smith, who played a street-smart Philadelphia teenager sent to live with wealthy relatives in Los Angeles.
The phrase evokes fish-out-of-water comedy and Black cultural crossover success.
Someone called a fresh prince carries themselves with easy charm and urban cool in upscale settings: He walked into the gala like the Fresh Prince.
