A portmanteau of the words hippie and hypocrite, used to point out typically wealthy liberal elitist persons who preach traditional hippie values such as tolerance, environmental awareness, socialism/liberalism, personal freedom, pacifism, well-being and human empathy, but in practice do the opposite.
There are many hippiecrites in the world who drive their 8 cylinder Land Rovers through the Starbucks drive-thru, waiting in line for 10 minutes for their Soy Mocha Tall Grande Latte while releasing emissions into the ozone layer and wasting fuel unnecessarily reving their engines thinking it will speed up the process, and then ridicule the less fortunate Ford Escort in line in front of them because it occasionally puffs smoke from the tailpipe, and then stop at BK afterwards for a Double Whopper, wolfing half a pound of cow down while smoking a nice cigarette, and then yell a passing obscenity at the driver of an old pickup truck with a National Rifle Association Sticker on it for being a gun toting, psychopathic lunatic and would not even so much as bleed a penny for a good cause or a homeless person, and believe that everyone should live by their rules and be forced to eat only overpriced organic food and drive vehicles less than 5 years old.
Many trustafarians are actually hippiecrites, rich closeted conservative children who want to rebel against their parents who were hard working businesspeople who probably started with nothing and struggled to build a fortune while their brat kid pisses it away on drugs, booze, cars, hookers, and traveling.
