Yuppies, Yubbies or Middle Youther

Postby Velsapix » Wed Nov 04, 2009 8:26 am

Hello there! How are you guys doing? =)

a) In your country.
Are there yubbies, yuppies or middle youthers in your country?
Yes, sure. There are a lot of them! Specially middle youthers who love to buy videogames and expensive computer gear. Being a yubbie is quite popular too. They do yoga, recycle and eat healthy food, they like to discuss about how bad war is and they read (and quote) famous writers. There are also yubbies in my city, but I think they are more and more of them turning into yubbies. They act like teens with lots of money (which in fact, they are) when they take off their suits, but they are becoming less cocky and starting to love the enviroment.

b) Labels.
"Yuppies" comes from YUP, which stands for "young urban professionals". Can you invent some labels to describe different social groups?
NoWNies: young people who don't work because they don't have to.
GyLies: people who spend most of their time working out to impress others.
Guess what they stand for!

See you!

Hello,

b) I really can't guess what GyLies stands for... But maybe you can guess my label.

PITs: they are very young people who love fashion

Good luck !
