The banks and credit companies I believe categorise potential clients into different categories of credit worthiness. Top of the list, I believe are the:

DINKIES (double income, no kids);

and the

SLINKIES (single, large income, no kids)

At the other end of the scale are the:

SUKS (single, unemployed, kids);

and the

MUKS (married, unemployed, kids).

I have heard other variants of these categories, involving oranges and lemons etc. Does anyone know of other categorisations?

I though Dinky was Dual Income No Kids Yet. Makes more sense than Dinkies with ie.
Yuppy of course is the original acronym meaning Young Urban Professional.

and of course there is the (Can't Usually Name Their salaries)

and (Women Amnesiacs, Nine Kids, Everyone Retarded, salaries) who are more difficult to catagorize or name!
