bobo

Rich urban progressive

Bobo is informal for a foolish or stupid person, used affectionately or dismissively depending on tone: Don't be such a bobo.

In some Latin American contexts, it's a mild insult similar to dummy or silly.

The word also names a style of soft, slip-on shoe popular in the Philippines—canvas sneakers associated with affordability and simplicity.
