#TIL the term #yuppie, or at least the "yup" part, is an #acronym for "young #urban #professional". While the sort of people I interview in #rural #Louisiana for my #research are obviously not #yuppies -- I blame my lack of knowledge on the term on that -- a surprising number of these #francophones and #creolophones are white collar #professionals, specifically many are #teachers, #principals, and #lawyers.
3 more:
1. he’s #yuppie scum
2. he’s come-out as transphobic
3. he was married to the woman who is now Trump Jr’s domestic partner.
yes, we should judge politicians by the people they’ve married.
only, fascist bootlicking yuppie scum would marry fascist yuppie scum.
soooooo #Indivisible is going to make “ageing WHITE hippies” their battle cry, right? because the only cool boomers were the #hippies, and if y’all are paying any attention to the #Zillennial youth, you KNOW hippies are their vibe.
i would go one step further and ask all #GenX to get out your DIE #YUPPIE SCUM t-shirts or print new ones.
#MAGA and their #corporatist bootlickers in the Democratic Party are all yuppie scum.
45 years ago this month (1980), Chicago Magazine’s Dan Rottenberg used the word yuppie for the first time in print. Below is an article the magazine published for the term’s 35th anniversary. #80s #yuppie #DanRottenberg #Chicago
