prep (slang) commentary on this disambiguation page
editThe earlier text that I had inserted:
- often derogatory slang describing "nouveau riche", publicly-educated people absorbed in middle class hypermaterialistic pop culture
was taken directly from Prep_(slang)#Slang_usage. The new text:
- having the characteristics of attendees of major private prep schools
is totally inaccurate regarding the slang usage of the term today, as that article makes clear.
I'm going to revert for accuracy, but if it's preferable that we simply leave out any extra text, that's probably fine. — Coelacan | talk 04:29, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- From the Prep (slang) intro: "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." which I trimmed down to "having the characteristics of attendees of major private prep schools". If the intro paragraph of that article is "totally inaccurate", the article should be fixed before the dab page. -- JHunterJ 11:46, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- As slang, that is not the current usage, and current usage is oulined further down the page, under the header "Slang usage". It has nothing to do with preparatory schools now. — Coelacan | talk 15:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
- Again, the intro contradicts that: "Preppy (also spelled preppie or lately shortened to prep) is a chiefly..." indicates that lately prep has the meaning in the intro. -- JHunterJ 15:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
