We all have to grow up someday! In this episode 1, we talk about becoming and adult and the different generations of adults in North America, and we discuss some of the slang 2 terms that describe various types of adults. We talk about it all, up to having kids and going on parental 3 leave. Listen in to find out whether Maura really is a yuppie!
Harp:A yuppie is a young urban professional. That’s what it stands for.
Maura:Right. So the Y-U-P at the beginning of yuppies stands for young urban professionals. This means that the people who are yuppies are young, they’re urban, which means they live in a big city…
Harp:And they’re professional. They have some sort of professional career. They’re white collar; they usually work in an office; they have some sort of professional job.
Maura:Right. And this also implies that they’re probably making pretty good money.
Harp:Yes. Now in terms of young, a yuppie could be anyone who’s 21 who has a professional job, up to 40. There’s no real set age to be a yuppie.
