Word originated from northeastern preparatory school uniforms. In modern use, refers to teenagers intrested in upper class clothing and materialistic goods. "Prep" attire includes shirts, polos, ripped jeans, and such. Cheap "knockoff" prep brands include Aeropostale and American Eagle (polos, $20-$30). Medium prep brands include Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch (polos, $30-$50). True prep brands include Ralph Lauren and Lacoste (polos, $65-$80). High-end department stores, such as Nordstrom's and Bloomingdale's often carry real "preppy" clothing. "Prep" refers to the way one presents themselves. Many such preps will often "pop" their collar. Many believe this looks stupid, but the polo shirt was invented by Renee Lacoste, and the collar was designed to be popped to protect the neck from the sunlight while playing tennis. A common misconception is the stereotype that all "Preps" are dumb and ditzy. Although many are snotty and dumb, many are nice and intelligent. Female preps can often be associated with the word Jap (Jewish American Princess).
Non-prep: You spent $80 on a new shirt?!
Prep: Yeah, its really nice!
Non-prep: Ugh, you are such a prep!
Prep: Yeah, its really nice!
Non-prep: Ugh, you are such a prep!

Seriously who else has a 9 hole golf course and 2 pools on campus. come in as regular kids and become transformed into rich bitches who are snobby and pollute the world.

Get the georgetown prep mug.A black prep is basically a white prep only (obviously) BLACK! They strive to live above the steryotype of blacks. Black preps are what most white people (and some blacks) would call an oreo or comfussed. Other white preps would say we come from "new money" and technically, it's true. Black people traditionally dont come from money but if they do they are either preppy or just a "rich ghetto person". It's sad to say but it's the truth.
now I myself would be considered a black prep and yes in my circle I would be seen as the black girl with 4 white girls and i'm fine with that because no one cares!
Also, that saying "all preps go to prep schools" is crap because yes I was in a very good pivate school from pre-school all the way up to 6th grade I'm in public school now (actually one of the best in my town) Black preps generally do wear lilly and ralph lauren (A MUST) and the girls always wear coach hats, scarfs, and summer shoes.
I am also what you would call a southen black prep and for us if your black and a true prep you are most deffinatly a member of Jack and Jill, (if your a black prep you know what that is), your daddy plays golf (and can hold his own on the course), and your younger and older brother(s) play golf and/or tennis and are good at it. You should be part of some sort of lake club that has a golf course and tennis courts.
For girls it's important to be a very presentable southern bell and when you are 16 (sometimes 17) you are to be presented at a coutillion that your mother is very active in. when you pick your escort it is very important for that guy to be good looking and to have alot going for him. his profile should sound something like this: Winston Gandy III is a Senior at the Lovett School and is planing to attend either Harverd University, Howard University, the University of North carolina at Chapel Hill, or Princeton University. He is the captin of his Lacrosse team and is a member of AJGA (Atlanta Junior Golf Association) Today he will be escorting Lauren Cofield. It is very important that your escorts profile dosnt overshadow yours.
Any black preppy girl would know that it is Simply unexceptable to carry a back pack in school (unless its a louis vuitton back pack). you always carry a tote back (usually by coach or one you got from durby) with a very cute but modest charm on it.
as far as sports go:
guys always play
Lacrosse
Golf
Tennis
Polo
Squash
Rugby
and Fencing
Girls generaly play
Tennis
Equestrian
Golf (if you play you must be able to hold your own)
Polo
or you will be a debutant (which is truelly a sport)
Like I said before, black preps generally come from new money so there arn't many but if you know one then you know it because they don't dress like the other black people in your school....they dress sooooooooooooooooo much better

Get the Black prep mug.A male or female who generally attends a private school or attended a private school as a child. Preps typically come from wealthy families, but are not flamboyant with their money. This term origininated in the Northeastern United States. Preps play tennis, golf, lacrosse and field hockey. Preps often attend country clubs and are well-mannered. Despite popular belief, true preps do NOT wear abercrombie, hollister, and american eagle, they wear Polo, lilly pulizter, lacoste and other such brands.
That prep over there in the lilly dress went to Hotchkiss for tennis and is on her way to Princeton. She grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut but she vacations in Nantucket.

Get the Prep mug.A prep is NOT someone who shops at A&F and not just someone who wears collored shirts. Prep is a lie style. You can't just decide to be it one day. You are born into it.

Get the Prep mug.Notre Dame Prep girls have the coolest personalities. We're super fun, and we appreciate good food. ESPECIALLY when it's churro day in the cafeteria. We are also some of the most sporty people around. When we're not beating Maryvale at a lax or field hockey game, were found practicing day in and day out at our desired sport. which is why we have terrible sleep schedules and come into school the next morning looking dead. But that's okay because we're always prepared with the Starbucks iced coffee we brought into school. Despite being tired ALL THE TIME, Notre Dame girls always have a ready-for-anything attitude! We also have an everlasting OBSESSION with Loyola boys because they are HOT. You will often find an NDP girl at a mixer shoving a Maryvale girl out of the way to get to a Loyola boy.
"Who's that girl talking to that Loyola boy over there?"
"idk. probably a Notre Dame Prep girl. They never stop obsessing over those Loyola Boys."
