Yuppie Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Yuppie
Yuppies (young urban professionals, or less commonly young upwardly-mobile professionals) is a market segment whose consumers are characterized as self-reliant, financially secure individualists. Since the late 1980s, the phrase affluent professionals has been used as a synonym, stripped of negative associations with the once-homogenous market.
