All people with mobile/cell phones used to get tagged with 'yuppie'; the neo-yuppie is one who thinks they are above mobile phones and thus more infuriating in today's social climate than le olde yuppie from the 80s.

Includes both moderate Liberals (Majority of yuppies), and moderate Conservatives (smaller group of yuppies), although both the far left and the far right enjoy dissing them.

far left dude: I hate these damn yuppies\! They claim to be "artists" and "bohemians", yet their materialistic pursuits embody the very antithesis of the counterculture, and price real "artists" like me out of the neighborhoods they move to\! far right dude: I hate these damn yuppies. I can't stand they flaunt their metrosexuality with their designer labels, lattes, luxury cars, and globally conscious health food stores. It's european-wannabe wimps like them that corrupt America\!

5. (yuppie) (617↑, 287↓)
Noun: A person who believes that they deserve their high pay much more than anyone else who works just as hard as they do. They have a lot of shiny objects and generally look down upon those who do not have shiny objects, or those with less shiny objects. Yuppies will move into an area that was once affordable in the city, but they got wind that it was “hip” to live in Wicker Park, or SoHo, or the Teapot District, so they gentrify it. Gentrify means to make unaffordable for anyone but yuppies.

I have to live in a high crime area and drive a 1983 Celebrity, cuz the yuppies moved into all the good cheap places. $1000 a month for one room in a hellhole, and the yuppies make fun of my car.

6. (yuppie) (491↑, 164↓)
These are scared little "professional" brats that hide behind $800,000 homes and their Audi's and Range Rovers. Notice how the home is only $800,000, anyone richer is usually a lot better person. It's the upper middle class ones that act like caramel shitting snobs. They treat restaurant and service people like shit. Eventually someone will kick their ass and they will be humbled.

"I punched that little yuppie in the range rover that pissed on my cornflakes this morning. Then I keyed his car."

Term coined in the 80s, describing a certain demographic of Young Updwardly-mobile Professional as found in cities and fast-paced business environments.

A yuppie is an acronym for a "Young Urban Prossesional." These people are, plainly, cunts. To go more in depth, these people are commonly white, but there is a large black and asian group as well. They commonly shop at brand name stores, or stores made/named after white people: Prada, Gucci, Calvin Klein. They drive luxury vehicles like BMWs and Jaguars. Yuppies usually have extremely gay names like Spencer, Hunter, Chad, Link, Randolph, Tucker, etc. They thoroughly enjoy money and flaunting just how much many they have. Like the Nazis were responsible for the Holocaust, yuppies are responsible for gentrification. They usually move into ethnic, working-class neighborhoods, purchase these low cost houses, knock them down and build luxury condos. They move here for a taste of culture and "urbanity," but then they wonder where all the culture has gone when the blue collar natives were forced to move away due to rising property taxes and no where to live. Places faced by this plag include: SoHo, Hell's Kitchen, Charlestown (MA).

Chad (Yuppie 1)- Hey hunter, would you enjoy playing tennis down by where the street hockey courts used to be? Hunter (Yuppie 2)- Yes\! Then we should jog to the local pub in our Prada jumpsuits\! Link (Yuppie 3)- Then we can go to my condo and listen to Jazz\! Seamus (blue collar worker)- Go fuck yourselves.

They’ll have one or two kids that tend to be little versions of their parents – spoiled, loud and demand attention. Their wives never work and spend most of their time at the mall, at the spa, at Starbucks with other yuppie wives or banging the pool boy because they’re husbands are too busy making more money.

Pronunciation (YUH-pee) Synonyms: asshole, Bobo (burgeois bohemian), metrosexual, suburbanite, Acronym for Young Urban Professional - typically a person who wants you to believe that they are superior to you due to their high-paying corporate job and social status. Activities include frequent purchases of expensive fuel-INefficient vehicles, extravagant clothing and jewelry, and anything that "elevates" them to a higher social standing. Behavioral traits include intense arrogance, unhealthy preoccupation/obsession with the safety of their spawn, meeting with personal trainers, immeasurable selfishness, and constant obliviousness to anyone who does not have the same or greater "social status". Free thought is not allowed as it disrupts the balance of their world. Habitat is restricted to excessively large, poorly-built houses (McMansions) which are frequently gated in to form a yuppie compound, typically called a subdivision or gated community. The compound is governed by a small group of fascists operating under the moniker of a neighborhood association. The compound is erected to provide the ILLUSION of a safe and secure environment for the yuppies to raise their spawn. Yuppie religion is restricted to the Cult of the Dollar.

The yuppie is the scourge of the free-thinking world.

14. (Yuppie) (110↑, 76↓)
So you want to be a Yuppie? Here's what you have to do. Never act masculine. Masculine is macho, you know, and all the soccer moms just HATE anything masculine. Never learn how to drive a stick shift like a man. Drive a wussy automatic, just like an old grandma. Or a chimpanzee. Step on your brakes all the time, just like an old lady. Ride your brakes going down all hills. Never learn how to gear down your transmission or take it out of overdrive. Cultivate arrogance. Wear it on your face as a smug expression. Always talk down to waiters and service people, to let them know you're a hot-shit Yuppie. To prove your worth, always blow a trumpet fanfare when you lock your car. Be the first Yuppie on the block to buy a set of trumpets that blow when you lock your house. Everyone wants to hear trumpets, and they will all look up to you in awe and admiration. Always jabber and prattle on your cell phone like an old lady gossiping. Everyone who sees you will admire you. Learn to call problems "issues," just like a soccer mom. All the soccer moms will admire you for that. Tell everyone you're going on vacation in Cancun or St. Tropez. That will surely score you big points with the soccer moms. Always carry a PDA. The more useless things it does, the better. Show everyone how it can dial a phone and remind you it's time to go for your manicure. For extra points, let it remind you to go for a pedicure. When a crowd is listening, pick up your cell phone and talk LOUDLY. Say "buy 40,000 shares of IBM." Wherever you go, assume an air of entitlement. You are entitled to take your dog inside stores, despite the NO DOGS signs. You are entitled to use your cell phone in the movies. You are entitled to two parking spaces.

Trent is an insipid, smirking Yuppie. He is entitled to park his Lexus in the handicap parking place because he'll only be in the store for 20 minutes.

21. (yuppie) (108↑, 98↓)
A term which might have a lot of negative connotations attached to it, but really only means what it stands for - Young Urban Professional. In other words, it's anyone who is over twenty and under forty, lives in an urban environment and has a good career. This does most likely mean that they are fairly affluent, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're self-centered, obsessed with showing off, pissy if they don't start off every single day of their lives with a latte from Starbucks, or anything else like that.

I plan to become a yuppie once I'm out of grad school, but that one little label doesn't make me a bad person.

22. (Yuppie) (10↑, 2↓)
Stands for Young Urban Professional. Yuppies are usually the children of doctors and lawyers, hold Master's degrees from Ivy League universities, and are very concerned with their appearance. Many were in fraternities and many live in expensive houses or apartments. Yuppies can typically be seen in large metropolitan areas such as Portland or New York. Their wardrobe consists of grey, black or khakhi slacks, usually with grey, striped or pastel colored suit jackets and shirts. Yuppies typically take the idea of competing for social status extremely seriously. Their culture revolves around Starbucks coffee, expensive foreign restaurants and romantic comedies starring Julia Roberts or Tom Hanks. Yuppies generally only hold political views that are considered trendy. Many yuppies go into fields such as politics, big business, public administration, medicine and law. You may have worked for one.

The most popular movie about yuppie culture is American Psycho. Yuppies are what happens to hipsters and preps when they grow up.

Anyone who walks out of a shop with a 15 dollar sandwich and calmly watches the officer take the 500 dollar boot off his vehicle for parking in the wrong place on purpose.

Anyone who thinks that walking their dog at a block party and saying hello to someone else walking their dog is going to get them laid. Anyone who's so ignorant of traffic that they tell someone "you can't come in here" when they're having one of their stupid little block parties. In my opinion, yuppie neighborhoods are no better than the ghetto.

25. (yuppie) (32↑, 32↓)
The term came about as an acronym for Young (Y) Urban (U) Professional (P) sometime in the early 1980's. Yuppies tend to have at least Bachelors degrees (but more common, these days, graduate or professional degrees such as JD's and MBA's) and work in high paying professions such as Law, Accounting, Investment Banking, Engineering etc. Yuppies are known for their conspicous level of consumption and obsession with status symbols. They tend to reside in urban environs such as Manhattan or San Francisco, but there are also suburban areas that are heavily populated with yuppies (such as Menlo Park/Palo Alto and Marin County, all in northern California). Often times, Yuppies are "Big Hat, No Cattle" types who pay $2,000 a month to rent a swanky apartment and spend another $1,000 a month financing a luxury car, but at the end of the day have a negative networth because they are so in debt from their student loans and credit card bills. For a perfect example of the yuppie lifestyle, watch the movie American Psycho.

Prospective Renter: Why are the rents here so high? Landlord: Because the yuppies are willing to pay top dollar for the prestigous address and the fact that the building is right down the street from all the swanky restaurants, nightclubs, clothing boutiques and cafes.

43. (yuppie) (20↑, 31↓)
To understand the word yuppie, I believe a mini-geneaology is helpful. Many yuppies, during the 60s were hippies who opposed the Vietnam War with their slogan of peace and love. At the beginning of the 70s, this movement died and most of the hippies sold out. The energy and momentum they had created, they poured into the capitalist market, and rather than make love they started to make money. That´s why I believe the term yuppie has connotations of inauthenticity because many yuppies once had a higher ideal; they were playing a bigger game and they traded it in for consumerism.

Boulder, Colorado was one of the epicenters of hippiedom back in the 60s and now it is super-yuppie. It's now called "the rich, white utopia".
