Ok...for those of you not from the States Boban pretty much nailed it with his definition....interesting site the urban dictionary is by the way...anyway I digress...preps is a shortened form of what originally started out as being known as preppies in the 1980s. The definition of what constitutes a prep has been on a bit of a sliding scale over the years. Nowadays pretty much a prep if female is a weak minded individual (although for some strange reason some wear the label proudly) who ONLY wears, says, does, whatever is considered to be "in" at the moment. Ridiculasly trendy to the Nth degree. If a prep is a guy it pretty much means he is a complete douchebag who believes in style over substance. Hope this little American Pop Culture moment was enlightening

italianroma: Because some women talk like this and its annoying.
If that is the only thing in life you find annoying or important enough to make a poll over then may I be the first to say you have a grand life. If someone is talking like a prep and it bothers you....simple move on. I also would like to tell you judgemental people annoy me but there is no way I can do that without sounding judgemental So since I have made a pack with myself to embrace all of me including my flaws may I say "suck it up and don't be so judgemental" that felt good

very enlightening - and always the same woe to young men - trying to find a women to speak their same language.
Obstinance_Works: The feminine sensibility for security and risk-aversion makes the woman more likely to indulge in groupthink and its dis-associated behaviours.

None of those options. It's probably because you just aren't in the same league in so far as intelligence goes and you find it threatening enough to your massive male ego to make a derogatory poll with no positive option for anyone to consider.

However, as a Brit I assumed a "prep" was a university educated person and that may have been a wrong assumprion having now read some of the previos posts. I still stand my previos comments though :)
