Stands for
Female Urban Professional. Fuppies, much like Yuppies, are usually the
children of doctors and lawyers, hold Master's degrees from Ivy League universities, and are very concerned with their appearance. Many were in sororities or activist groups and many live in expensive houses or apartments.
Fuppies can typically be seen in large metropolitan areas such as Portland or New York. Their wardrobe consists of a
red,
black or khakhi bodycon dress, usually with denim, striped or pastel colored suit jackets and shirts, and a pair of glasses to signal to the patriarchy their professional seriousness.
Fuppies typically take the idea of competing with men for social status extremely seriously. So much so, that they either tend to put off trying to get married until their "biological clock" starts ticking, usually in their
late 30s, or come out as LGBTQ+.
Their culture revolves around using indie coffee shops to build their personal "boss girl" brand on social media, relying heavily on pets for their needs for deep, close friendships & community, and bingewatching
Netflix on the
couch sipping on various hipster brands of alchohol when off the
grind. Fuppies generally only publish political views that relate with the latest trending hashtags.
Many fuppies
go into fields such as marketing, HR, content creation, tech and law. You may have worked with
one.
