preps

     

Preppy, also spelle preppie, is a chiefly North American adjective or noun traditionally used in relation to northeastern private university-preparatory schools; as well as those who attend some of America's prestigious private colleges and universities. These characteristics include particular subcultural speech, vocabulary, accent, dress, mannerisms, etiquette, and entitled (assuming privilege) life view. The term "preppy" is similar in formation to hippie or yuppie, and it had great currency in the 1970s and 1980s. The term first reached a wider audience in the 1970 film Love Story, where Ali MacGraw's character uses it as a derisive term of endearment.
