prep 

literally, someone who goes to a college prepatory school (like me). Many who can afford to get into such schools have enough money to dress like the typical "preppy" person. So, literally, I am a prep, but I have serious issues with people at school who only care about their American Eagle etc. clothes.
However, one who is "preppy" wears the polos.
Prep schools are usually boarding schools (thank God that mine isn't), and they care more about sports such as lacrosse (my school is 2nd or so in the nation) and field hockey (the coach won some award...but since I don't really care, it doesn't bug me).
Preppy preps can by characterized by their love for the words "Oh My Gosh", and "Like", as well as their obsession for clothes more that $100 per article, (for many, especially at my school) love for the color pink, and some strange obession for putting ribbons in their hair. Speaking of thier hair, I know people who would have gone to my school but were scared away on their "Shadow Day" because all (or almost all) the girls had perfect hair that looked like they had spent hours on it.
Girl's skirts in uniform are usually to the top of the knee.
Male preppy preps have a tendency to wear plaid shorts (yep, they really do....)

Preppy prep girl: Like, O my gosh, did you hear what the teacher said? We have to wear our uniform tomorrow...it was supposed to be a non-uniform day.
Non-preppy person: Get over it, I'd rather just wear the uniform.
Preppy prep girl: But, like, I just went shopping, like, yesterday, and like, I wanted to wear my new shirt.

prep 

A prep is someone who wants to look good. They may wear american eagle or abercrombie or express. They also wear lacoste and burbery and all that good shit. But preps aren't all smart and don't always end up in good colleges. If they do, it's becuase they're parents buy their way into the college if the kid is too dumb to get in. So preps just wanna look good even if it means shopping at american eagle.

I don't need an example to explain it, if you can't see the real picture of what a prep is then that's ur own fault.

prep 

1) someone who attends a preparatory school
2) an outcast in the eyes of outcasts because of the clothes they wear the music they listen to and their obsession with material items...more often than not these cliques that despise the preps are just to damn jealous of the fact that these "preps" seem to be completely happy and everyone else wants in on it, when really they should stop being a bunch of pathetic losers who judge the preps that they despise on the very things that the preps judged them on....in all reality the so called "preps" don't despise these "lesser" people, They just don't give a shit about them and their black clothing, shitty music, and cliche art featuring a girl in full black attire and blood.

Greg hated Steve cause he thought Steve was a prep. Steve doesn't even know who the hell greg is...

prep 

A prep is a person who's favorite words are usually like, omg, totally, and any other valley girl word that they can come up with. Their favorite color is generally pink, and they love to shop at American Eagle, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Hollister, or even sometimes Anchor Blue. The percentage of preps that are posers is about 50%. They are usually skinny blondes, with an occasional brunette. Preps tend to date jocks, and vise versa. Most of the time, preps are cheerleaders, on the dance team, and spend every day talking on the phone for 4 hours to their boyfriend of the week. Preps are not always sluts, but a lot of the times they are. Preps generally idolize Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff, and consider Avril Lavigne 'too goth for them'. Preps usually have rich daddys, and have some type of small dog.

1. "OMG that sweater at American Eagle that you bought is totally cute!", said Ashley.

2. Look at that chick in the pink American Eagle shirt, she must be a prep.

prep 

not necesarily a conformist. prep really has to do with where u go to school and how much money ur family has (i'd say that preps are typically upper middle class).

preps are generally sheltered, by parents, teachers, ect. that's why they don't have much life experience and a prep's life is not particularly interesting. hence the extra-curriculars- the idea is to fill up ur time, and then since u have something to do, u think ur not so boring after all.

unfortunatly tho, u are.

a prep isn't necesarily interested in school/ grades. in fact, a lot of preps are lazy. altho, that's often just what they say, because in the end, most of them care, even if it's just a little bit.

also, not all preps are posers. they're not genuine fakers- most of them realize they're losers.

basically, don't hate preps- we hate ourselves enough already.

it sucks ass to be a prep.
