词源

Like yuppie flu, the term originally connoted (and may still connote) contempt by working-class people for others who are perceived as rich, undeserving, and soft. The stereotype-laden imagery is that a yuppie throws twenties around like a poor person might throw food stamps around, neither one wholly deserving the resource that they are profligately consuming. Class antagonism is implicit in both directions, upward and downward.
