What's on your mug?

A period of time in which boarders are expected to complete their homework. Often broken into 1st prep (doors/curtains open) and 2nd prep (where you can have a little more privacy). At around 8 or 8:30 there is a half an hour intermission called Supper which is also the time for teeth brushing and changing into night clothes. Prep for a typical Yr 11 would begin after Dinner (Tea) at 7pm, stop at 8:30pm for Supper and resume at 9pm. Lights would go out at 10:30pm. During prep there is to be total silence, and to work with another person you must ask for permission first. Boarding staff patrol the area.

Boarding Mistress: Prep time girls, everyone in their cubes! Collective: GROAN Boarding Mistress: Who's making that noise? Ella: I'm in Patricia's cube *helping* with her maths homework Boarding Mistress: SHH! No noise in prep!!!

Prep - (n). 1. Basically a clone of society. The preps, or "populars" are often arrogant, ignorant, self-indulgent, perverted, annoying, etc. They usually watch MTV for updates on whats "in" and listen to horrible music like Lil' Wayne. Overall preps are full of themselves, and will do whatever is "in" and what their friends do.

Prep 1: Oh. My. God. These shoelace belts are like...totally in! Prep 2: Hell yeah, mothafucka! *they turn on MTV (or what has become of it)... Jackass on MTV: FASHION UPDATE!!! Shoelace belts OUT!!!! Extention chord belts...IN!!! *preppy clones turn off the television Prep 1: OMG shoelace belts are sooo last year! Prep 2: Yuck, shoelace belts are for losers...

By I.Hate.Preps

Bitches who think the world of themselves. They wear American Eagle, Hollister, Aeropostale, Abercrombie&Fitch. They all look the same, they spend countless hours on appearance, hate people who are different and show excess amounts of love to their "friends" who they secretly hate. They lead guys on all the time.

On facebook: Prep 1: loves this picture (heart, heart) & you of course bbe! Prep 2: d'aw, loves it&you too bbe, hang soon? Prep 1: of course, love! In real life: Prep 1: Omg, do you see what prep 2 is wearing? Prep 3: I know, it's soo ugly. Prep 1: Look at the way she's flirting with that guy. Prep 3: What a slut!

Unlike most of the definitons on Urban Dictionary making the REAL definition of prep, this was made to give definitions of how people USE the term. A prep is a snobby, rich, "pretty" (although most of them are ass-hideous and just think that they're beautiful), girl whom will later get implants because she's an AA cup and is jealous of all the other non-prep girls in her school. She thinks that the school revolves around her, and her "friends" aren't really her friends, they just follow her around because they want to be preps too. It's all a useless chain and they think that the whole school loves them when really everybody hates them for how full of themselves they really are. If your dream is to be a prep, get ready to be hated by all of the school, not because they're jealous of you, but because of what a low-life bitch you really are.

I hope that preppy <bitch> gets hit by a bus like in <Mean Girls> .

By I'm not a prep

Prep does not just refer to the style, but the person. I am a prep, and I like black. Yeah, I admit to wearing Hollister, but does it matter where the clothing is from if you like it? My skirts are never short, my shirts never tight. Preps always look classy, with little makeup and nice jewellery. Gold, silver, pearls, all are good. But so is quirky, homemade jewellery. I wear a homemade bracelet saying 'I love Science', costing about $2 to make. Also, who said preps aren't clever? Some nerds, emos and randoms are, some aren't. I use good grammar, and any errors here are due to my concentration on a physics programme. Yes, physics. A female prep! Who would have thought! I love science (hence the bracelet :) ) It is my life. I am at a good college, and I'm studying Biology, Chemistry and Physics. I am predicted B's in Biology and Chemistry and a B in Physics, but I hope to get an A in it. I want to go to university to study astrophysics. And as for the music? Hilary Duff? What? I listen to all sorts of music, even Nightwish and Soundgarden. Any music can be preppy, if a prep likes that sort of music. So, in short, a prep will always be classy, kind, and even clever. The may wear A & F, they may not. They may wear high street clothes, along with their designer stuff. They may want to be a physicist, but rarely a profession that doesn't require brains. Basically, you can tell if a person is a prep, because they always look classy and have good etiquette and manners.

Fake prep : Ohmahgawwwwwd, likeeee, Bieber is in town next week! Fake prep two : Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I need to get down, like, Aero for, like, a new outfit, like OH MY GAWWWWWD!!! Real prep : Oh no! I'm going to miss that Brian Cox programme about the Large Hadron Collider! Bystander : But you are a prep! Real prep : Does liking to dress well and being brought up correctly mean I can't adore physics?
