What is Yappie?

Young Asian Professional
My friend Jerry Lee from Ernst and Young is a Yappie.

A yuppie with a cell phone growing out of their ear. In the 19th century, men carried big guns on their belts to make up for a lack of size in other areas. Cell phones have replaced the gun on the belt. A cell phone on the belt gives the wearer a since of importance.
"I am so important, I have to carry a cell phone on my belt so that people can get in touch with me anywhere and any time when there is a crisis that only I can handle."
It is hard to enjoy a meal in a restaurant with all the yappies constantly talking on their cell phones.
