[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep is about prep school. They wear a uniform. It's private school and elite. Almost always in the Northeast. Prep can not be successfully imitated. It's inappropriate and not sure why they would want to copy the trend, when it's attempted by public HS/college students.[/quote] Jesuit high schools are referred to as 'prep schools'. Fairfield Prep, Georgetown Prep, etc. They are 'preparatory' for college. The term can be for any HS, but it is most used with private and parochial HSs.[/quote] While I agree that that is a use of the word prep, the preppy people being mocked in the preppy handbook are WASP’s they are not Catholic.
