The word 'yuppie' entered English about 200 years later. My source of this is the Random House Dictionary. What it is you "get" is a mystery to me. And who is it that is "whining?" I am well aware of the sources of rudeness and brashness. Sincerely, Joe Stephenson ++++++++++++++++++ Creek wrote: >> Bravo Walt!!! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who gets it.
