Yalluppie
Young Arab Lebanese Urban Proffesional.
A play on the words Yuppie, and Yallah, (to go quickly, or to say goodbye in Arabic). The choice of Yallah, represents the fast pace of the Urban areas where they conglomerate. While also one of the words said the most as they are constantly hanging up their cell phones, and each call ends with a "Yallah-bye".
Used to describe those Young Lebanese individuals just out of university, either back from Canada, or AUB. Many of whom move to Dubai to make their fortune.
They can be recognised by their oversized designer sun glasses, Stripped collared shirt with one too few buttons or a tight muscle shirt. And a pack of Marlboro's is necessary.
A harmless people, who are cash rich, and loaded with connectections. Are always to be found in Urban areas, yet seem originally be from a village in either the north or south of Lebanon.
This term can be transported to other arabs from different regions.

or
A Yalluppie parks his brand new Porsche in front of the office to show it off to his colleagues. As he's getting out of the car, a truck comes speeding along too close to the kerb and takes off the door before speeding off.
More than a little distraught, the Yallupie grabs his mobile and calls the police. Five minutes later, the police arrive.
Before the policeman has a chance to ask any questions, the Yallupie starts screaming hysterically:
"My Porsche, my beautiful black Porsche is ruined. No matter how long at the panel beaters it'll simply never be the same again!"
After the Yallupie finally finishes his rant, the policeman shakes his head in disgust: "I can't believe how materialistic you bloody Yallupies are," he says. "You lot are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else in your life." ! "How can you say such a thing at a time like this?", snaps the Yallupie. The policeman replies, "Didn't you realise that your right arm was torn off when the truck hit you."
The Yallupie looks down in absolute horror ........."F***ING HELL!!!!!! he screams........
"Where's my Rolex ????..."
