It's even spelled wrong in the comic!
Yeah 😅 But if the bomb's instructions spelled it correctly, there would be no challenge for the diffuser. They should have gone with a sorta phonetic boo-zshwah-zee for the text in the comic.
To the tune of the Mickey Mouse Club song:
B O U
R G E
O I S I E
Bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie,
They're the ones who have to die
So we can all live free!
Bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie,
B O U!
R G E!
O I S I E!
to this day i still have to use this, which i really appreciate because there's apparently no other way for my brain to remember
'Bourgeoisie' is easy, 'nessecary' on the other hand
Odyssey fucks me up
You forgot the 'a'
I can never remember which letters are doubled in embarrassment
I can however spell antidisestablishmentarianism. It is my superpower(it's not actually difficult)
Joke's on you, I know French.
...okay, maybe the joke's on both of us

Eat the burgussy
Bour - spelling bourgeoisie is bo(u)ring
Geo - they control the world
Isie - spelling is easy (isie)
Bourgeoisie
The Borgias (2011)
Don't do this to me. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME 
I hate every ruling class from bourgeois-A to bourgeois-Z
Burger Z, easy
The mask of humanity falls from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death… the sweetest, most courageous people in the world… You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know That the
B O U R B P O I U R G S I E
are not human.
bour-ge-ois
bour-beegees-ois easy
It's not that hard look
- Bourg - a town with no tax in the middle ages
- Bourgeois - someone who lives in a bourg
- Bourgeoisie - the whole of people who live in the bourgs
Just be born with the right first language!
A town + the rest of the fucking owl you say?
Excellent.
Bourge- don't forget the u
oi - wa (feckin French, goddamn the language)
sie - zie or zee
B O U R G E O I S I E , lintik.
Burguahtzee i dont respect neither french nor english

Tangentially related question
Do you fucking say the r or not? I always say it with the r, but I've heard some people in my reading groups say it without the r.
The answer to this question will not make me say it differently, I just want to know if I'm being quirky or not.
I think it depends on how french you want to be, with the r becoming more silent the more french you are.
Well I say it with a little bit of yeehaw to it
BORE-jwah-zee
And i've heard burr-jwah-zee and boo-jwa-zee as well.

Proof that I'm a Real Leftist, or at least argue about communism online way too much - my phone's autocorrect knows "bourgeoisie" and I never actually have to spell it out. Lol.
Bourgeois
Boar guys. Down with them.
Random-ass English spelling... Really tells you that English isn't the world language because it's inherently easy or makes sense with it's consistent spelling. Queue, pseudonym, lieutenant colonel... etc
idk i'd think plundering words from every other language would make it more global.

I got so frustrated and embarrassed not being able to spell bourgeoisie that I spent like a week writing it at least once a day.
if you put some italian flare to it its easier to spell
Bourgeoisie boom got it first try. It's easy when you remember it's just "bour" "geois" "ie"!
Boer guys
