Yuppie Informal; an abbreviation for "young urban professional." A person in his/her twenties or thirties who makes significantly more money than most of his/her peers. Stereotypically, yuppies are extremely conscious of their social status, and some luxury products may be marketed especially to them. They tend to live in very large cities like New York or Chicago. The term was most common during the banking boom of the 1980s. It has a somewhat derogatory connotation. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

It was an intriguing choice for a young scribbler whose first novel, Mergers and Acquisitions, is being promoted as the spiritual and stylistic heir to Bright Lights, Big City, Jay McInerney’s coke-powered chronicle of early New York yuppiedom. For example, if you didn't know that she grew up partly on welfare with a hardworking single mom, you might think that her worries about survival with three simultaneous babies were rooted in yuppiedom rather than realism. In the 1980s, that period of high yuppiedom, champagne consumption in the UK also reached unprecedented levels, so much so that some in the industry thought it might lose its exclusive image. |
