There are 2 kinds of preps: the "poor"-ish preps (who are not poor but actually middle class) who wear Abercrombie and Fitch and American Eagle... etc.... Then there are the really really rich 18-car-garage, Indian-Mountain-billionaire-heirs who wear things like Ralph Lauren, Izod, Lacoste..etc. Having attended a prep school(UGH!!!) for a year, i would say that I am an expert. Preps almost always own a puffy North Face jacket, in light colors (i.e. pastels). Some have blond highlights or wish they did. They commonly use phrases such as: "Oh, my God!" and "Dude", "Man" and they use like and um as sentence crutches because they need to figure out what they are going to say. There is always a popular phrase or word that is used constantly among an isolated group of preps that slowly works its way down the East Coast where preps normally reside. The current word at my school among the small group of preps is "sketchy". This word is used to describe anything from people to coffee. Prep girls are normally stupid and they play with thier hair. They usually get straight As anyway. Preps wear UGGS which are ugly. Preps always talk about hair days and what clothes they want. OR at least these subjects dominate most of thier conversations. Preps watch TV as a social thing. Shows such as The O.C. depict a lifestyle that preps wish they had. This is why they like watching them so much. Most prep girls are bitches and they talk about people behind their backs. (Think: Mean Girls)
PREP BOYS:
Prep Boys have flippy hair and they usually wear a baseball cap that is way back on their head and tilted up and slightly to the side. Cap wearing is an art. Prep boys want prep girls. Boys and Girls talk about each other as object to be "caught" and used to raise social status, not to make the couple happier. Rich-ness is a prep mentality. As long as you have the clothes it doesn't matter if you really are rich or not. Preps are all about appearance and surfaces, they are shallow. Preps suck, mostly. Preps are normally considered "popular" even if they do not have as many friends as other people do. They are popular in the sense that preps are depicted as popular in popular culture such as movies and books. Popularity and fitting in are very important to preps. God, I should write a paper on this. There are however, accidental preps, but that is another entry. My hands are getting tired.

prep is very easy to define. preps are kids who simply want to dress what's exactly in style, don't want to be weird in any way and embrace their stylish conformity. preps are the ones who try to look hot in their nex pictures. preps often face the hardship of coming to school wearing a new and trendy tshirt they got at american eagle and see another girl with exactly the same shirt on. preps don't want to be an individual. preps want to be popular as badly as emo kids want to be anti-conformist.
a prep loves nothing more than to go to the mall with her friends and buy lots of cute clothes for the sake of spending money, and work their way up the social monarchy of junior highschool and on.

I know that preps are those who wear lilly, lacoste,are rich, play tennis, golf, etc.. but honestly i prefer to be the one who wear a&f, ae, hco, etc cause i think being a real prep is boring. i'll stay with the "wrong" definition of prep

1. Technical def: One who attends or appears to attend a preperatory school, usually preparing for an ivy league college. Wears vests, slacks and loafers.
2. Slang def: One who wears clothes that are, in reality, too small for them. Girls usually wear lots and lots of pink and pants with a waitsband that is smaller in diameter than their actual waist. This causes their tummies to hang out over their pants (ew!). Girl preps are also usually airheads. Guys usually wear lots of browns and tans with tight, dirty-looking jeans. Preppy guys may also try to look punk by having a longer haircut or some such nonsense, but the only one their fooling is themself (and other preps). As far as music goes, they usually are adoring fans of J. Lo, Nick Lachey, Ashlee Simpson and the like. Is usually mean, snotty and clique-oriented. Usually looks down on anyone who is not a cookie-cutter image of them.
3. Anyone who wears a shirt that says "Punk". *Clear throat*...Ashlee...*cough*...Simpson.

1. Bob's family is so stinking rich and he wears those weird plaid vests all the time, he must be a prep.
2. Suzie is such a PREP! She goes around in that skin-tight pink shirt that says "Punk" on it and those jeans that are so tight she can barely walk in them. What a poser!
3. Ashlee Simpson is such an airhead prep that she doesn't even know that wearing a shirt that says "Punk" on it only makes you a poser.

Female example: A whorish bitch who MUST have clothes from American Eagle, Abercrombie And Fitch, and such clothes that are made from cheap materials. Buy really ugly purses with dangly objects that are usually hideous eyesores. Buy make up that is really expensive which is a total waste because they could save a lot at Target.
Male example: Mr. I- think- im- so- muscly- hott- everyone- wants-me kind of asshole. Is mostly hated and tries to be cool but ends up acting like a retard. Gets D's to impress his friends but to stay on sports teams. Usually a real dill-hole. Everyone wants him to stop buying from the baby shirt section and actually try some adult shirts that fit.

female: OMG look at me like... omg i think my make up almost cost less than $20! And my shirt i bought last night, the one for $120, it got snagged and ruined and i have to buy another! And my manacure, omg, dont get me started! god im such a prep!
Male: Uhuhuhuhuhuhuh hey guys uhuhuhuhuhuh football practice was so cool huh? Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu i have a D in English. Cool huh? I saw the coolest shirt in the baby aisle but my mom wouldnt get it. Real bummer man. Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu
