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.

A prepatory person, who is consistant in their fashions, attitude, and friends. "preps" usually dress very well, and are comonly refeared to as "the stuck up people".
How most non-preps would describe a preps convorsation:
"So, like, Jess, you wanna go to the mall?"
"Like, OMG! I was JUST thinking that! Tee-hee!!"
"So, like, Jess, you wanna go to the mall?"

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.

A name which has basically become an insult used to describe people that want to look and dress nice and have an active social life. You don't have to be rich to be a preppy, just have to look good (Many personalities are measured by how they keep up their appearance). The only people that don't like preps are usually kids that can't fit in or get picked on a lot because they look like retards, are fat, antisocial, or all 3. Just because some people like to be happy once in awhile and you can't because of your code of gothiness or emoness prevent you from doing so because you would be afraid to lose those friends and be called a "conformist." I would consider myself preppy (I don't like to label, subcultures are retarded) but I'm not rich or anything and I hang out with girls that say like a lot and most of my friends wear polo's (Oh, and from KOHLS. Wow...) People can spend their money how they want to. If they want a set of ripped jeans from AE go for it.
All the punkers gathered in a circle when the evil preps came along and when they passed them they started snickering and calling them preps and then they would later go home that night and get a boner from saying it - even the punk girls.
