The term "yuppie" comes from the acronym for "young uppity pretty people" or YUPP (it was originally YOUNG URBAN PROFESSIONALS). Yuppies populate the East Coast of the United Spades of Amerika, especially the area in and around New York, and in Canada they have infested Vancouver. Parking lots in these areas are full of Maseratis, Rolls-Royces, BMWs, and Audis. You can tell a yuppie's car from that of a doctor or a lawyer by the fact that the car is taking up two parking spots and is freshly waxed (often daily by the underpaid help). They have been known to migrate, such as when the hick town of Aspen, Colorado was discovered by leet skiiers and expensive restaurants. As soon as lobster was sold there, yuppies appeared.
