we're yuppies?

Interesting, I didn't think of us as all being that way.  (referring to article in nest annie's post below)

Re: we're yuppies?

  • Bwahaha.  That is hilarious, seriously.  I guess if a yuppy means "young urban professional," we more than likely would all qualify.  Thoughts?

  • Heh? I would've never thought of myself or any of you girls that I know of to be yuppies. Because I always thought "yuppie" was a term used to refer to uber-wealthy, snooty-patooty people. People who own yachts and wear ralph lauren sweaters around their shoulders and italian leather loafers.

    But Jacky brings up an interesting point! Does it actually stand for that? I've never heard that, but I supposed if that's where it's derived from, then yeah...we're all yuppies.

  • It's funny that I was homeless at one point as child and now I'm a yuppy because I have a job and roof over my head, are people that live in other places that have jobs yuppies? I always thought that yuppy was used in a negative manner, not as a compliment.
  • LOL..

  • I never thought I was a yuppie.  I some how thought that was a group that was older then us.  LOL

  • Wow, I'm a dink yuppy... awesome.
