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.

Get the Prep mug.Prep kids are the best dressed kids of the schools, we are misinterpreted to be snobby and rich but that is not even close. Preppy kids don't come from very rich families neither than poor families, we come from upper-middle class families. We don't go on road trips around america, we fly, and we usually come from big cities or east coast towns. Preppies wear Lilly, Polo, Banana Republic, Vineyard Vines, Jack Rodgers, J. Crew, Lacoste, Ray Ban, Brooks Brothers, Johnston and Murphy, Vera Bradley, Abercrombie, Hollister, etc. Preppies are known for vacationing in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and New England towns. Preps get good grades such as A's anything lower than an A is bad. If you are a real prep then you should have a luxurious car ex: Volvo, BMW, Mini Cooper, Mercedes, Lexus, etc. and if you're a fake prep you will drive ex: Honda, Toyota, Ford, etc.
"Hey Murph, your new J. Crew cashmere is very cute," Emerson said. "Yeah, I want to dress with more prep." "If you do, you can borrow my Jack Rodger's." "Really?"
"Yep."
"Yep."

Get the Prep mug.Prep does not just refer to the style, but the person. I am a prep, and I like black. Yeah, I admit to wearing Hollister, but does it matter where the clothing is from if you like it?
My skirts are never short, my shirts never tight. Preps always look classy, with little makeup and nice jewellery. Gold, silver, pearls, all are good. But so is quirky, homemade jewellery. I wear a homemade bracelet saying 'I love Science', costing about $2 to make.
Also, who said preps aren't clever? Some nerds, emos and randoms are, some aren't. I use good grammar, and any errors here are due to my concentration on a physics programme. Yes, physics. A female prep! Who would have thought! I love science (hence the bracelet :) ) It is my life. I am at a good college, and I'm studying Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I am predicted B's in Biology and Chemistry and a B in Physics, but I hope to get an A in it. I want to go to university to study astrophysics.
And as for the music? Hilary Duff? What? I listen to all sorts of music, even Nightwish and Soundgarden. Any music can be preppy, if a prep likes that sort of music.
So, in short, a prep will always be classy, kind, and even clever. The may wear A & F, they may not. They may wear high street clothes, along with their designer stuff. They may want to be a physicist, but rarely a profession that doesn't require brains. Basically, you can tell if a person is a prep, because they always look classy and have good etiquette and manners.

Fake prep : Ohmahgawwwwwd, likeeee, Bieber is in town next week!
Fake prep two : Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I need to get down, like, Aero for, like, a new outfit, like OH MY GAWWWWWD!!!
Real prep : Oh no! I'm going to miss that Brian Cox programme about the Large Hadron Collider!
Bystander : But you are a prep!
Real prep : Does liking to dress well and being brought up correctly mean I can't adore physics?

Get the Prep mug.Unlike most of the definitons on Urban Dictionary making the REAL definition of prep, this was made to give definitions of how people USE the term.
A prep is a snobby, rich, "pretty" (although most of them are ass-hideous and just think that they're beautiful), girl whom will later get implants because she's an AA cup and is jealous of all the other non-prep girls in her school. She thinks that the school revolves around her, and her "friends" aren't really her friends, they just follow her around because they want to be preps too. It's all a useless chain and they think that the whole school loves them when really everybody hates them for how full of themselves they really are.
If your dream is to be a prep, get ready to be hated by all of the school, not because they're jealous of you, but because of what a low-life bitch you really are.

It was safe to say that Emma and Jack were preps, because Emma used a Brooks tie for a belt and Jack was obsessed with baseball.

Get the Prep mug.The preps commonly shop at Vineyard Vines, Lily Pulitzer, Ralp Lauren, L.L Bean, etc. As the stereo-type, preps are viewed as " snobby ", " wealthy ", and " dumb ". However, there are some people who prefer to buy preppy clothes and be a prep, but can be kind and intelligent. Preps are also viewed as shallow, and have no class. However, again, there are preps with an acception who have a good heart, class, and intelligence. Preps always take action in some sort of sport, commonly football, cheerleading and soccer. When you are preppy, your most likely to be very social and have a high status of popularity. Preps usuallly don't pay attention to the emo,rock, or punk crowd. They as well don't have a taste in anime, rock/metal, or for example TØP or MCR. Preps have a fun, social and happy personality. As well as being popular, or well known in school. Not all preps are snooty or shallow, or have no class.

Easy to identify: travel in mindless crowds, obbsessed with sports, make fun of/try to convert anyone else diffrent (better) then them.
