(n.) Used to stand for Young Urban Professionals, but has now strayed to define the 20-year-olds at Starbucks who type for hours on their laptops, probably writing a novel that they apparently want EVERYONE at Starbucks to be interested in. They often wear stylish black glasses, slim black clothing, tote yoga mats, and big bulky colored scarves regardless of the temperature outside. They are health conscious, live off salad and black coffee, and often frequent poetry slams and wear jaunty berets. If you ask them what they are writing about, expect to be either talked down to, or have them use the biggest words they can think of, even if they're out of context, hoping you don't know the meaning anyway.
Mitch: "Hey look, I've always wondered what it is those yuppies type away on."
Frank: "Bad idea man."
Mitch: "S'cuse me miss, can I ask what you're writing?"
Yuppie: (Looks up from coffee as if she's never seen people before) "It's an esoteric collectivist's detailed analysis of the resurgence of middle-American culture in relation to the increase in demand for soy milk since its invention in-"
Frank and Mitch have died.

Yorker Yuppies 

Description: Wealthy New Yorkers from NYC who colonize New Jersey.

Behavior: They destroy communities and pay more than the listed price from overvalued homes. Ignore the previous culture of places they colonize. Will flaunt how they improve "ghetto towns" even when said towns were never ghettos.

Habitat: Wealthy urban downtowns, reddit page, trash hills (high rises), most of Hoboken, and downtown Jersey City.

Procedures: Approach respectfully and ask them to respect the natives. If they agree, then you have succeeded in assimilating a colonizer (gentrifier). If they become enraged, they're likely apart of the cult of anti-whites (woke), or they're just in a bad mood. If they're in the anti-white cult, then prepare for the funeral of your neighborhood. Make preparations to sell your home when houses with a true value of $200,000 start selling for over $1,000,000. Perhaps you can even document your area before it becomes fully gentrified.
Guy: Have you seen what the Yorker Yuppies, the wealthy New Yorkers, have done to downtown Jersey City? It's horrible.

Gal: I know. The mayor of that town is selling out the residents. It's a shame. I feel like crying because of what's happening.
Guy: I hear they're coming for Newark next.

Gal: Oh no! We need to stop this madness. Their tyranny of trendiness ends here!
Guy: Those monsters should stay on their side of the hudson river. They come here and claim they're Jersey Jacks and Janes, but also New Yorkers. It's possible to be both, but in truth, those folks never were either. In trying to be both, they are nothing at all. Gal, do you want to go on a walk with me where we'll video tape our area?
Gal: That sounds fantastic. We need to document the community before gentrifiers destroy it.
Yorker Yuppies by Sunset King December 9, 2020
The first thing to know about Yuppies is that they have no national or community allegiance; therefore they are International Capitalists who enjoy exploiting the labor of third-world nations for their own private profits. Usually, Yuppies will live in "secured" buildings or a precious "gated community" surrounded by other Yuppies who fear working class retaliation. Yuppies are the bane of all racial minorities and actual Americans because they undermine, subvert and sneer at anyone who does not make $250k a year. Certain Yuppies want so badly the false appearance of being "down" or "hardcore" -- used as a sneaky trick to hide their obviously large paychecks (pejoratively known as a "urban 'hipster' "). But, when push comes to shove they would just call their precious police or cry like little bitches.

Generally speaking, Yuppies love to appear cultured and have roots, when in reality they are just conformist shills willing to do anything and bend over at any command.
Bob: Jim! We need to hire some more compliant Yuppies who will let us use them for our evil goals.
Jim: Yes master. I will see that a new batch are brought in right away, your magnificence.
Bob: Excellent workplace compliance Jim -- sure to reward you many dollars.
Jim: Pleasing my master is the only holy financial goal.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
“I’m not dieting, I’m just on that glippy.”
“Ever since the glippy hit, food feels optional.”
“That summer body? Yeah, glippy assisted.”
