Years ago, while I was in the Royal Navy, officers were generally known as pigs. Around 1976ish I often heard them referred to as yah-yahs, presumably because of the way some of them talked. It occurs to me that some of these might be the parents of some of the yahs who are causing you such grief; they certainly used to piss me off!
