Cheugy applies to the usage of trendy cliches, especially when they're used long past their expiration date. If you find yourself captioning your Instagram photos with phrases like "#girlboss," ”I did a thing," or "adulting," then you're probably a touch cheugy, according to The Cut.
In addition to social media aesthetics, cheugy applies to what you have in your closet as well. Former favorites like the Gucci logo belt, skinny jeans, and infinity scarves can now be neatly filed under cheugy, according to People. If you're at a loss as to whether or not something is cheugy, the @cheuglife Instagram account is here to help. Citing things like fluffy white dogs and Keurig coffee makers as cheugy, the account gives a nod to the idea that cheugy doesn't necessarily carry a negative connotation. "Everyone has something cheugy in their closet. We didn't intend for it to be a mean thing," says Abby Seigel, a former University Of Colorado student and sorority member, (via New York Times).
