What's this type of person called?

[MistyBay]

Help me find a term that perfectly sums up someone who is quite posh (private school), cultured, educated and likes to party (cocaine, clubbing etc)? So, in the case of a female they will dress up in a bunny girl outfit and go clubbing type thing. All very liberal.

Middle aged. Totally functioning but burns the candle.

Am sure there must be a trendy phrase for it, like bougie. IT girl, society girl or sloane used to be.

But I don't know it.

Just asking because I have found myself in a social circle full of people like this and I'm not one (comp school, not an attention seeker but sociable like 'normal' working class people are).

I just need something that sums up the cultural difference effectively.

Cocaine Karen's.

@ShirleyPhallus it’s sad that you are surprised people don’t want to sit and slag off other people. People from all walks of life take drugs and party, being rich doesn’t mean it’s ok to be nasty. Someone can sit and be nasty about them, but it says more about them as a person than about those they’re slagging off.

YUPPIES, at least in the 80's

Sybarites
Mid-life yuppies?
"Wild things" (1920s) but maybe "Still Wild Things" at their age!

All unisex terms.

I know what you mean as have friends like this, they’re great fun and super confident, I envy them! It’s definitely the private school and money background, very fortunate.
As for a name/title..I’m not sure

We used to call them Rahs.

Oh, yes, that too!

Or Hoorays.

(Both male and female though). A Rah is someone that has wealthy parents, private school if not boarding school, hangs out in clubs like Boujis.

(Maybe I’m showing my age?!)

The Hoo Ha Henry Crowd

I would call them 'Women who give a big ' FUCK OFF' to any tosser who wants to judge and label them for fully living life as they want '.

Label they if you like, they clearly couldn't give a fuck. Quite rightly too.

Part of the group referred to as "Rah where's my baccy". A term used online which is now in DH and I's personal vocab. We're both privately educated, live in a naice area etc so unfortunately we know a lot of them, not for us.

I think you are getting an unfair grilling here. We as a species always group people together, we do it without thinking about it.

I know exactly the kind of woman - they have a fabulous tan, the sort of tan that only comes from a sunbed in the south of France. They ALWAYS smell amazing. They have husky voices. Effortlessly chic. Parents absolutely live in the cotwolds now. They will party hard then have a boujie brunch somewhere to recover the next day.

There isn't anything derogatory - none of these descriptors are insulting or bad.

Yuppie?

I'm probably so far from 'with the times' though that that phrase probably went out with the dinosaurs.

Why are people getting upset, we all fit in groups and it shouldn't be offensive to be labeled the correct ones.

People CHOOSE these lifestyles, if someone doesn't want to be 'Yuppie' (definition: A well paid young middle class professional) + the steretyped behaviors and fashions of that group then they won't... its not something you accidentally become if you hate it.

Its not offensive.

Well, I agree, but the OP seems to be suggesting this is not-normal, both in terms of social class, education and sociability in some way that is both 'not normal' and 'not working class':

Just asking because I have found myself in a social circle full of people like this and I'm not one (comp school, not an attention seeker but sociable like 'normal' working class people are)

I mean, I am WC, but I recognise that such people exist, and would not regard my upbringing and experiences as 'normal' either. 'Normal' is pretty subjective.

I’m very much not saying it’s ok to slag off rich people or people who take drugs recreationally. But this is what happens all the time on MN. Which is why I’m surprised the responses here haven’t been the case.

Felicity??

Just another person? Quite a normal person but it sounds like you don’t like her.

We called them (lightheartedly) Rahs. They were the pashmina crowd. There's quite a few on this thread by the sounds of it!

Surprised no one has said Bridget.

Do you mean older women 40s/50s that are still going out like they did in their twenties?

If they are on the look out for young men, I think the term is 'Cougars'?

Ok I said Karen as a joke to someone who was quite uppity. I’m sorry. It was mean.

also, point taken about ‘normal’. Normal to me is not normal to others. What is normal.

I work in marketing and I can tell you that every marketing department in the world will have ‘persona’ profiles for certain market groups. We are paid and encouraged to come up with ‘yuppie’ type acronyms to help flog more study to the likes of you and me. So don’t be precious. It won’t change.

thanks for the suggestions! It’s not that these people (can be men or women btw) are upper middle class types, it’s their attitude to life: the right to boogie daaaling. Mummy drinks wine type stuff.

Oh and I like these people. They are great. But my ‘umble beginnings mean I have an inferiority complex. Won’t ever ‘fit in’. Or feel like it.

they also swear a lot, which I’m not keen on

Liberal, upper middle-class partying swearers

or LUMPS as I will now call them

Do you mean like Hun mummy?

All grey houses and Prosecco time once the kids are in bed.

I think the press call them socialites or similar. Like the made in Chelsea gang.
