Definition

Short for 'Young Urban Professional' or 'Young Upwardly-mobile Professional'—the 1980s archetype of ambitious twenty-somethings climbing corporate ladders in expensive suits. These were the latte-sipping, BMW-driving, cellular-phone-toting symbols of Reagan-era materialism. Today's tech bros are basically yuppies with hoodies instead of power ties.

Example Usage

This neighborhood used to be affordable until the yuppies moved in and gentrified everything.

Essential in business, diplomacy, and anywhere people are too proud or busy to handle their own negotiations.
