Originally Afrikaans for a fancy, rich person, larnie is used in SA English to mean someone who is well-off or acting above their class. Calling someone a larnie can imply they are a boss or just a flashy big-shot.
"Ever since he got that job, he's become a real larnie – won't greet us anymore. (English, meaning "Since he got that job, he's become a real big-shot…")"
