cityfied
Turned urban dweller
Cityfied describes someone or something that has taken on the characteristics of city life—sophisticated, urbane, perhaps a bit soft.
The word usually carries a hint of disapproval, especially from rural perspectives: He came back from college all cityfied.
Also spelled citified.
