Madam, – A couple of terms listed in Schott's Original Miscellany(2002) seem particularly appropriate today. Yuppies (Young Urban Professionals) have grown up to be Dumpies (Destitute Unemployed Mature Professionals). Dinkys (Double Income, No Kids Yet) now find themselves Sitcoms (Single Income, Two Children, Outrageous Mortgage). If only they were funny. – Yours, etc,
