A period of time in which boarders are expected to complete their homework. Often broken into 1st prep (doors/curtains open) and 2nd prep (where you can have a little more privacy). At around 8 or 8:30 there is a half an hour intermission called Supper which is also the time for teeth brushing and changing into night clothes.
Prep for a typical Yr 11 would begin after Dinner (Tea) at 7pm, stop at 8:30pm for Supper and resume at 9pm. Lights would go out at 10:30pm.
During prep there is to be total silence, and to work with another person you must ask for permission first. Boarding staff patrol the area.

Preps are a clique of people who wear Abercrombie,American Eagle, Aeropostale etc. No One Will Ever Be Jealous. People don't like preps because of their actions. Not because of the way they look. They judge people by their physical appearance. And no goths and punks don't wear the same thing. Some people are goth and they don't wear all black and worship the devil. And how the hell they came up with that one I don't know.They make assumptions which makes people even more pissed off. They usually don't have the facts straight so you could say some of them are pretty stupid. They focus on their appearance. (NEWSFLASH You should pick wisdom over youth. Beauty fades and wisdom stays)Most of them are pretty cocky and think they can get any guy or girl. Some are really slutty though I'm not saying all of them but some buy the skirts three sizes too small. Image is everything to them. It would really be funny if Abercrombie bought shirts from Walmart and just put their logo and name on it. But they always worry about their hair and makeup and they are always looking for a mirror. (Beauty is only skin deep. But ugly can go as deep as your soul.)They can be pretty but in my eye if they have that kind of (I'm better than you) attitude than they are the ugliest people in the world.
Prep1: Eww look at she is wearing...She probably like got it at a Walmart
Preps:Like yaa.
(Someone sneezes)
Prep1:Oh my god my skirt just flew up!

preps usually look like this: blonde hair with black roots showing, straight hair, light wash flare jeans that are ripped, hollister or abercrombie shirt, flip flops, french pedicure, toe ring,fake nails.
most of them sing dance or are on some cheerleading team at school. they date stupid ugly jocks or anyother guy that wears a flat rimmed hat and has the "surfer hair". preps boyfriends usually wear plaid shorts, pumas (or some other tennishoe brand), and polo.

Suburban wigger-faggots that are rich, spoiled cunts. Easy to identify: travel in mindless crowds, obbsessed with sports, make fun of/try to convert anyone else diffrent (better) then them. If you encounter any walking out of American Eagle clothing outlets or a Baseball field, Private school use the same approch as you should when you see a faggoth, pick up something sharp/heavy & attack!
Prep 1: *with a lisp* "Er...so, yeah, uh, I was, uh, playing, um, baseball, and, uh, I, got, uh, a-uh, home-uh-run...uh, yeah, 2pac is, uh, cool, you, uh, going, to the, uh, party at, uh Abby's house, uh, I...like...penises...uh, uh."
Prep 2: *also with a lisp* "I was, uh, playing football, then, uhh...uh, I gotta, uh...touchdown, uh. I, uh...can't, uh, wait for the party, uh...dicks are, uh fun...uh"
*chainsaw starts up*
Nate: "For Satan!"
Preps 1 & 2: "Uh...ARGH-GURGH-AH!

Contrary to other definitions, preps are not sluts or whores. We do not shop at stores such as Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, and Hollister. These stores are for posers. Public school imitators who think that because they can pop a collar they are preppy. Real preps shop at Lacoste, Polo Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, J. Crew, J. Press, Lilly Pulitzer, Saks, Nieman, Burberry, and other select boutiques. However, prep is not only a kind of clothing, it's a way of life. The word 'prep' is derived from preporatory schools. Prep schools, or boarding schools, are not for delinquents or children who need discipline. They are elite, east coast schools for progressive, forward thinking students. Such schools are Phillips Exeter, Andover, Choate, Lawrence, Groton, Hotchkiss, Deerfield, Loomis, etc. These schools prepare students for elite colleges, especially the Ivy League. At these schools, preps are very particular about their grades, sports, and lives. While the general public has portrayed preps as jocks, bitches, phonies, and otherwise unintelligent people, we are actually very well learned. We acheive acceptable grades and always keep up appearances. To an outside observer we are model teenagers, but as any prep will tell you, our lives are much more intricate. We throw huge, alcohol infused weekend parties and have very wild sides in private. However, nothing we do is tacky and we would never be so tasteless as to fight in public. Any problems or issues are buried within our personal lives and definitely not disclosed to the public. Preps come from long established families who belong to country clubs and partake in preppy approved sports. Tennis, golf, lacrosse, crew, and horseback riding are a few examples. Preps do not flaunt their wealth, we simply have it. Pearls are a young prep's jewels of choice. We vacation on the Cape, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Aspen, tropical islands, and European countries. All preps have read The Official Preppy Handbook written by Lisa Birnbach (1980) and to learn more, you should, too.

a group of people (usually defined in high school) who wear the latest fashion and have common interests. Often pretended to be hated by everyone but secretly want to be them. Often very into whats going on (football games, pep rallys, parties, etc) Often described as being snobby and, mean to individuals, fake, and slutty. However, if your not one of them..how would you really know ;)
