Ever see the movie "Best in Show"?  The couple with the Weimaraner,
they're stereotypical yuppies.  My take on the word is "Baby Boomers who
have sold out completely, and who strive to outdo each other in proving
how unlike their Cadillac-driving, steak-and-martini, WW-II-era parents they
are. Slavish conformists who think of themselves as daring and
unconventional. Often enamored of the appearance of being gourmets,
while completely misunderstanding the meaning of good taste."
