What is the difference between bourgeois and bourgeoisie?

While we're at it, let's differentiate between "bourgeois" and "bourgeoisie." Bourgeois can be a noun or an adjective, referring to one middle-class person or that person's middle-class behavior; bourgeoisie is a noun only and refers to the middle class as a whole, rather than one person.
