Young, materialistic trailer park residents. They often occupy double or triple wide manufactured homes and usually have all the trappings of more typical yuppie forms. Though they live in a mobile home community, they are separated from their trailer trashneighbors by tasteful clothing, nice furniture, and a penchant for fine wine and/or cigars.
"Shannon carries a Tory Burch tote and always orders the most expensive wine on the menu, but lives in the worst trailer park in town!"
"Yeah, she's such a trailer park yuppie!"

A TV show or movie designed to cater to yuppies or yuppie wannabes that may still be in elementary school, secondary school or college.
The lead character and their significant other, if around, usually have very successful, professional careers, usually as a doctor, lawyer or important company or government official.
Usually, not always, the lead is depicted as achieved an astronomical amount right at the beginning of their careers. In Damages on FX, Ellen has graduated from law school and has numerous six-figure offers from law firms. She soon takes on a major multi-million dollar class action lawsuit and gets $2 million in bonuses after the case is settled. Most law graduates are lucky to get a paralegal job.
These shows are propaganda for universities who want their students to believe years of school will pay off with lucrative salaries and important careers. Some teens and twenty-somethings will religiously watch these shows under the impression it depicts the career field they are trying to get into.
Most of these shows are the projections of writers who failed to become all these things in life.
Damages, Grey's Anatomy, ER and The Sum of All Fears are examples of yuppie vanity shows.

Acronym for Young Urban Professional who is into the green movement. Group whose culture blends the hippie/counterculture values of the 60s and the materialistic values of the 80s. Usually found in Starbuck's, organic food stores, and generally are into outdoor exercise activities such as running, cycling, etc. Generally liberal in their political views. They tend to be self-confident and place an emphasis on personal appearance/status. They may also exhibit green “techie” tendencies, where they purchase/endorse “green” technology that complements their outdoor lifestyle (hybrids, energy efficient light bulbs, digital books, etc.).
"A Green Movement Yuppie just parked their tofu filled Lexus Hybrid at Starbucks."
"Look another Green Movement Yuppie eating Kashi bars on a $6000 bicycle"
