No, that's not true.

A yuppie beer snob sips effette, expensive, fancy beers
and talks pretentiously about beer the way an oenophile
prattles on about wine.


So you can point out where I've done that then?

I thought not.

A dumbass, yuppie beer snob, DYBS, does all of the above
while at the same time denigrating the most popular beer
in America as "swill" and demeaning the millions of folks
who drink it as "riffraff."


Oh, I was just yanking your chain, Ken. (And it's *so* easy to do.)

BTW, since when did popularity have anything to do with quality?

Yuppie beer snobs are kind of cute in their own precious
way, DYBS on the other hand are pricks.


Like self-admitted pretentious, elitist, dry-fly snobs who dismiss
Nawth Cackalacky restaurants as having "pedestrian" wine-lists?

... I was
talking with some of the locals, and it's gotten so expensive to

live
there that the "real" Sedona residents have been driven out by

the
damyankee Birky-wearing, sprout-eating, wine-drinking snobs.


The Birkenstock-wearing, sprout-eating, Volvo-driving, bead-wearing,
ex-hippies *are* the "real" Sedona residents, and they are being
driven out by the "tourist entrepreneurs" who for the most part are
Republican beer snobs.


You misspelled "Republican Bud drinkers".

HTH.
