Preppy (also spelled preppie) is a chiefly American
adjective or noun traditionally used to describe the characteristics of white
Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) who attend or attended major private, secondary
university-preparatory schools commonly associated with New England and the
northeastern United States. These characteristics include particular
subcultural speech, vocabulary, accent, dress, mannerisms, etiquette, and life
view.
