prep guy
The other definition is utterly wrong. Here is a correct interpretation of a prep guy.
1. During the summer he is found in Nantucket or the Vineyard.
2. He wears Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, LL Bean, J Crew etc.
3. He wears mocs and beige trousers and pastel-colored poloshirts.
4. He's educated. Few are jerks. He's cultured.
He DOESN'T wear A&F, AE, Hollister, Old Navy, Aeropostale or any of those other "mall" stores
A prep guy isn't the jock who dates "cheerleaders" in high
school... he goes to a prep school in new england (Deerfield, Choate, Hotchkinss...etc.)

Sally: (seeing a handsome guy walk by in a mauve shirt, beige trousers and mocs) Look at that prep guy!
Jen: Yeah, I think he goes to that prep school in Connecticut.

WASPs
1) The other dumbass who wrote a definition for this should learn how to spell. (its P-R-O-T-E-S-T-A-N-T)
2) It's difficult to find any type of person other than WASPs in Nantucket.

Ibiza
A great island off the east coast of Spain.
Divided in towns, such as Ibiza ciudad, Santa Inés, San Josa, Santa Eulalia..
The best place to go to in the summer.
Ibiza has two sides:
-the great side: breathtaking beaches, countryside, mountains, bike rides, exclusive clubs, "casas payesas" (beautiful houses)
-the bad side: San Antonio. This town is full of the most "chavish" and cokney english crowd who party noisily in the streets. It is easy to avoid this side of Ibiza by going to the right places.
Ibiza is also full of celebrities. Legends like Mick Jagger and his whole family can be stumbled upon.

Blair: I went to Ibiza for the whole month of July, because its way too crowded in August. I had the time of my life!
Jess: Yeah, me and my family are going to go sailing round the Baleares this summer! It's going to be SO great!

new money
The first definition says "The opposite of Paris Hilton"
I would like to correct that. Paris Hilton is new money, as her father made a big amount of money in little time. Her father. She is by no means old money.
A perfect example of an old money family is the Vanderbilt family.
New money is characterised by SUVs, Dolce & Gabanna, Juicy Couture...
New money individuals are looked down upon by old money individuals. However, the biggest snobs are new money as they haven't received a proper education and don't have manners, so they become unbearable people.

Jenny (new money): Oh my god, look at that girl, what is she wearing! Someone get her a trash can, hahahah. Where is my Gucci?
Selena (old money) (thinking): What an attitude.

Lilly Pulitzer
1. She wore Lilly from head to toe: a Regan dress, beige McKim sandals and an Edie cardigan.
2. Many people consider Lilly Pulitzer the epitome of elegance nowadays, even placing the brand alongside legends like Hermès.

Abercrombie and Fitch
A brand which sells horrible shirts but nice jeans. If you're really skinny, like me, you will know that its difficult to shop for jeans as the ones that fit your waist are too short. Well, in this store I have found jeans that fit me perfectly and thats a plus for them.
I'd like to quote kewltrunkz, the second definition for this word. She says "A retail line where if they suddenly decided that breathing wasn't cool, half the people in this world, especially the preps, would die." I want to make this clear: preps don't wear Abercrombie and Fitch. They may have the occasional item, but they seriously don't shop there. That's quite an error.
The shirts, I will agree, are overpriced. You can get much more elegant and well-fitting shirts in better stores for the same price (eg. J. Crew)
A thing I find funny about this store is the hype that surrounds it. If you go to Fifth Avenue, New York, across from the Tiffany's store, you will find a big wooden-like building with the shape of a box and, on festives, a line that goes around the block. I find this amazing. Do people really queue to enter that average store on their few days of vacation in the amazing city that is New York? What a mentality.
Summary:
1. Jeans are perfect for skinny people
2. Shirts are a rip-off
3. Don't do the queue

Preppy 1: Look, I bought some Abercrombie and Fitch jeans.
Preppy 2: They look great on you! But I have to say, that store sells some horrendous t-shirts and hoodies.
Preppy 1: I agree.
8-year-old girl: Mummy! Mummy! Please take me to A&F, all my class is wearing it!
Mother: Okay sweetheart, we'll check it out sometime.
4 years later, the girl is a slut wearing too much make-up and jean-knickers (in A&F they call them shorts!)
