Yuppie

Noun.

Informal for the acronym (Y)oung (U)rban (P)rofessional, or the longer version of Yup. Someone of a particularly young age (13-30) who has either a well paying job or very high allowance, and is seen often going to Starbucks, having rewards programs for certain businesses, shops at nice places like CATO, or things of that nature. They also prefer food that is not "OMG I can't afford that" but food that is "well, I can afford it but it's a little on the pricey side". Not necessarily a bad thing, but some Yuppies will flaunt their privalged life a little to much. Other than that, they're just live everyone else.
Hah, look at all the little yuppies at that Starbucks with their parents. That one over there, he's even paying for his own drink.

3. The kind of person who shows up to a dive bar in loafers, tips well, and will 100% talk your ear off about ai, the roman empire, aliens, or the latest Huberman episode about skipping.

Yuppie

Slang for a Young Upwardly Mobile Professional. Many people are saying that the U means Urban, they're wrong. This is most easily disproven by the fact that a commonly used synonym was Yumpie which included the initial for Mobile. Usually people labeled as yuppies are hippie adjacent and profess progressive values on every axis except fiscal.
Growing up amongst a whole bunch of hippies, I was instilled with a healthy distrust of the goddamn Yuppies who act fiscally progressive but perpetuate the entire system of exploitation. As much as hippies suck, yuppies are even worse.
