preppy這個字最早指的是 去"preparatory school"的人
- Preppies are young people who have often been to an expensive private school and who are conventional and conservative in their attitudes, behaviour, and style of dress. (ref. 柯林斯字典)
因為這些人家裡都很有錢,所以他們常常穿著光鮮亮麗,所以preppy慢慢跟"流行"有關係,講到preppy,人們腦袋會想到"Polo Ralph Lauren" "Lacoste""A&F"Tommy Hilfiger""Burberry"等等的名牌
當然,動物也可以穿的光些亮麗,我們就可以形容他是preppy dog!
可是用人當主詞,就是罵人了, He is a preppy animal! 就是他雖然穿得光鮮亮麗,可是是隻動物 (衣冠禽獸)
