jay,
well... yer estimation of these things
is only off by about 180'
ie. while yer right that ep's usage
mostly rings foney, snob affect, jokey,...
low dialect is in thee best merkan tradition,
...the derivation (of boojwa) i had in mind
was leadbelly's "boojwa town"
...vastly more expressive,
precisely for being so indecorus a locution,
than the frenchie original, no?
 
anyway...the royal academy this ain't
...n  any idiot can see it is decidedly a colloquial medium.
so throw away the stilts, chum,  light'n-up, n letter ip.
 
bob
