- patrick451 4y agoIn what sense are these words jargon? According to both the dictionary and common usage, jargon is the vocabulary of a specific trade or profession. And yet, yuppie is a word understand and used by everyone from crab fisherman to welders to lawyers to software engineers.
- honkler 4y agoThis was the first time I was reading the word yuppie. So certainly not a jargon to me.
