Yuppies - Young Urban Professionals. Yuppie was an acronym
for 'Young Upwardly Mobile Professional Person'. The word
was coined by the advertising industry to capture the
essence of a particular type of work hard, play hard,
ambitious minded city career person of either sex. The
hectic lifestyle of a yuppie meant that after long hours of
work, rare free time was spent in a self indulgent way
frittering away the cash earned on anything, from expensive
make up and perfume, to a bottle of fine champagne.
Conspicuous wastage was part of the attitude.
