teenage female who seems to have no idea where she is. usually found off the coast of california. seemingly beautiful in nature but truly idiotic. likes to use the phrases "like omg" and inserts the word "like" wherever she possibly can

"like OMG can you believe that he, like, did that!? OMG its, like, so, like, stupid, like, really, like, stupid! like, yeah"
... what a stupid valley girl.

junior yuppie


Explanation:
Como os yuppies (de 25-35 anos aprox)prezam muito roupas de griffe, celulares caros etc, patricinhas e mauricinhos seguem a mesmo linha, porem sao mais jovens (adolescentes). Nota: tive problemas com valley girl, porque poucos pessoas entende o que é; ate gente de Nova York ficaram meio confusa - e os europeos nem tiveram idea do sentido da frase ....
