@Alice_is_lost if you put it in romaji, it's "yappii"

Maybe it's different in different countries, but where I'm from, "yuppie" isn't something you would say to a person's face. While some people might admit to themselves that they are yuppies and even be proud of it (after all, it mainly assumes the person is already making a lot of money when young), it's still used as a derogatory term. Perhaps in Japan it's the opposite and only positive.

damn two years ago lol. Having gained plenty of experience in translation over the years, I agree with you. It I were translating it today, I'd have gone with something that makes sense in English.

Solid guess, reading above it looks like it's "Yappii" which is like a modified version of "yippie".

If I remember correctly, I've seen it from "gyaru-types" before. So the gap-moe part is a business owner with a softer style saying it.
