If you weren't born in Brooklyn, you're a YUPPIE!

No that would just make you a carpetbagger.

Even if you you were born in Brooklyn -
If you are a Young Urban Professional (ie white collar) you are a yuppie.
Plenty of them born and bred in Brooklyn - Park Slope and Bensunhurst are meccas of yuppie breeding grounds.

Get facts straight there.

And remember
In the land of ink and summer beards
The shaved man with no tattoos is the only true artist with originality.
