    Always reminds me of the yuppie in Only Fools and Horses too (Cassandras boss 'Stephen' yah yah!!!)

    Bit of an outdated word OP, it described 'city types' (financial markets) in London in the Thatcher era.

    You have to have a filofax to be a yuppie. Preferably one with many compartments and such.
