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. These characteristics include particular subcultural speech, vocabulary, accent, dress, mannerisms, etiquette, and life view. In 1980, Lisa Birnbach wrote the Official Preppy Handbook, a tongue-in-cheek guide to what she termed "prepdom." The term "preppy" is similar in formation to hippie or yuppie, and had great currency in the 1970s and 1980s. The term first reached a wide audience in the 1970 film Love Story, where Ali McGraw's character uses it as a derisive term of endearment.
"Preppy" was also A.C. Slater's nickname for Zack Morris in the teen sitcom Saved by the Bell.

Not punk or grungy. A guy who looks like he belongs in a fraternity, but he fixes himself up more.
