354.0. "Yuppie, Dink, etc" by COUGAR::ZARLENGA (Watch for 'Beverly Hills Buntz'!) Mon May 11 1987 17:24

    	Does anyone have a list of the new popular acronyms and
    their meanings?  I recently heard DINK - Double Income, No Kids
    and wonder what I haven't heard.

    My son came home from camp yesterday and told me that he was
    called a
    
    		JERK -- Jewish Educated Rich Kid
    
    by some of his fellow campers.  We'll have to have a little talk
    about it, but I thought I'd pass it on.
