[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sixth grader and friends use preppy as a term of endearment. Like calling each other “preppy prepster.” I don’t fully understand what they mean but it’s not the green/pink preppy aesthetic of my youth.[/quote] My middle school aged nieces do this too and also use it as a compliment, i.e. “That dress is so preppy!” This is their way of saying “That dress is so cute/pretty;” the dress wouldn’t necessarily meet the traditional criteria for preppiness. It seems “preppy” is a compliment/term of aspiration, not the old-school preppy. And the “preppy” girls are the cool girls.[/quote]
