Yuppie Explanation: It's a bit like a Mars bar - and quite good. The name has no other meaning. In daily speech, japp is the Norwegianised yap or yuppie - young, aspiring professional. The trade name has existed for generations before yuppies came along, and there has been no specific association between the two. |
