Get the Southern Prep mug.The most awesome and elite school in DC. Don't hate on us just because we are the best catholic school in the country. We understand the jealousy, and could see why losers at Landon, Episcopal, and other inferior schools are jealous of us. Everyone calls us dumb, but we have the best SAT scores in the region, and everyone calls us bad at sports, but we have the best overall records.

Get the Preparation H-bomb mug."Southern preps" are people from the Southern or Mid-Western United States who attempt to mimic Northeastern prep culture to overcompensate for their insecurities of being a "redneck," whether conscious or subconscious. They often point out what is "trashy" and what is not because of this insecurity.
Southern male preps typically wear Ralph Lauren button-downs and the females buy expensive handbags, believing they resemble East Coast preps. East Coast preps are from the Northeast, not the Southern seaboard, and represent Northeastern culture by wearing brands such as J. Press, considered the quintessential preppy brand, and occasionally wear brands like Ralph Lauren. Southern preps know nothing of brands such as J. Press and instead, wear brands like J. Crew or Lactose.
Southern Preps drive pick-up trucks or SUVs. In the Northeast, pick-up trucks and SUVs are considered low-class and redneck. East Coast preps primarily drive fine European automobiles, such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz cars, not SUVs, representing their refined taste.
East Coast preps play sports such as lacrosse and crew. They attend East Coast schools, which are known for their high educational standards and their lacrosse and crew teams. Southern schools are known primarily for football and basketball.
Southern preps vacation in mundane places like Georgia, while East Coast preps vacation in the Hamptons. Southern preps who visit New England or the Tri-State Area (NY, NJ, CT), stick out like a sore thumb.

Get the Southern Prep mug.An artificial, fake, hormonally challenged teenager who can't discover their true identity. They always have to appear overdressed and rich, even if they aren't. Things commonly worn by preps include: Abercrombie and fitch, American Eagle, Hollister, Louis Vuitton, LaCoste, Victoria's Secret, Juicy, etc.
Prep: Like, OMG, like, what the fuck are you wearing? Like omg your shirt is like soooo out of season.
Real Person: ...goodbye.
Prep: OMG Like... screw you! I'm going to go into victoria's secret and buy some more lingerie so people will think I have a boyfriend. And then I'm going to go to starbucks and buy a mocha frappucino and walk around drinking it and pretending to talk on my cell. Then I'm gonna go home and upload some more pics to my myspace.

Get the prep mug.also known as tertiary preparation and usually abbreviated to preparatory school, college prep school, tertiary prep, or prep school) is a secondary school, usually private, designed to prepare students for a college or university education. Most Prep Schools are typically filled with very wealthy children, who grow up and most of the time like 98% of the time, tend to be rich and more successful or as successful as their parents. They at times are called fake and idiots, but infact, they get a badname from middle class wannabe preps. You know the folk who's parents stretched it big by going for a modest 300k- 400k home. These wannabe preps in no way live a lifestyle or the real preps that started out in England many many years ago. the life of high class in all ways is certainly not easy. but by wearing abercrombie and driving a 3 series bmw and thinking your the Sh#t, youd like be a wannabe prep. we all know while their are some great 3 series bmw's. it does not require a ton of money to buy a used 1, nor does wearing abercrombie make you rich. However these wannabe preps most of the time will have more cash than the average joe. Keep in mind their are upscale preps or upscale rich folk who do not live the prep lifestyle, they live in a more modest neighborhood but still nice however their parents plan is to move on to the lake once their children are done with school.
Person # 1-Hey i heard that most people who get into harvard or yale go to prep schools?
Person # 2- this is typically true, as they had the proper schooling, and do great on the SAT plus they graduated from a prestige prep school, and their parents have money and hook up's thus they go major in something such as law or Politics and become leaders of the country and rule our lives.
