A derogatory euphemism generally used by blue collar workers, the less fortunate, or lazy (generally out of envy) to describe young, educated, medium to high income professionals that enjoy spending the money they work hard for. Usually, the terms McMansion or suburbanite will accompany the use of the term.

A breed of conformists who used to normal, but decided selling out was the ticket to reality. Most have dogs to fit the status quo, and ooze out in urban areas like a rotting carcass with maggots.
Plastic in nature they slowly remove all signs of Earth and Life in society.
I'm joining the 'thought police' because I'm a yuppy. I must fit in to be noticed.
