Subject: Yuppie-isms (and ain't-em's too)
I swear, the damn Yuppies are at it again. Now, they even try to impress everyone with their speech; not eloquent so much mind ya, but designed to disguise the truth. Well, I've broken their code, and present below some of their more commonly used phrases:
Fellow had his $ 180,000 "Snub-mobile" repossessed by the finance company.
He told everyone that his "balance sheet required a reshuffling of proprietary interests."
When the kids get out of control, you and I spank the lil' snot noses good and send them to their rooms.
Yuppies, on the other hand, engage in "practical negative reinforcement."
There was a famous educational book called "What Makes Sammy Run ?" still in use today.
The schools in Columbia Maryland though all have copies of "The Motivational Research of Samuel's Potential."
"Meat Loaf" -- forget that !
In the Yuppie kitchen it becomes "Recycled Prime Roast."
Most young couples are so overjoyed to own their first home they gladly acknowledge that it's a bit bare at first until they can afford more furniture.
The Yuppies ? They have "a considerable grasp of spatial values."
Forced to sell an expensive Japanese camera for the cash,
the Yuppie told everyone he "disposed of a segment of his foreign holdings."
