A close friend, the preppy equivalent of a homie. This term originated in the northern suburbs of Pittsburgh after some locals discovered that they were, in fact, suburban preppies who did not live in Homewood. Following that realization, the use of the word 'homie' began to carry with it a stigma that would often lead to socially awkward situations. This word became a much-needed substitute. It is derived from Wexford, a wealthy postal district in said northern suburbs and part of North Allegheny.
