        Evil scary yellow and black stripey insect that flies around stinging people and has a nasty little face like Darth Vader, not to be confused with the humble bumble bee who is just a little flying teddy bear that makes jam and gets shit-faced on pollen.

            Everyone who is a PREP and embraces it. For everybody who spends the final weeks of the year tossing the disc or playing lacrosse on the circle of their boarding school, wearing the spring colors from Polo, Lacoste, and Lilly Pulitzer. You tretch through the northeast snow with help from your LL Bean boots and stay warm with their slippers, and yes, the JCrew people do know you by name. You play at least two raquet sports, bonus points for paddle and raquet ball and tend to vacation on the shore, ACK, or Marthas Vineyard. If you pop your pastel polo collars, wear aviators, ribbon belts, and own Nantucket Reds, then this is the group for you. For every girl who wants to get a guy with hockey hair and to the guys who have to keep their blazers on because hey, thats the classy thing to do.you define old money by owning a yacht and a summer house and belong to at least two country clubs.

                Historically an acronym for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, but used traditionally and frequently to mean White Affluent Schooled Person(s), regardless of a precise national origin or specific christian denomination or religion. Especially relevant in references to persons or families with old money ties in positions of certain power, notably those residing in certain pockets on the East Coast.
                Commonly used with an inherently negative connotation by non-WASPS.
                The term is often associated and used interchangeably in reference to the perceived subculture of Prep, Preppy, Prepdom because of historical and unmistakable ties.
                The acronym wasp has not become commercialized as greatly as the perceived prep lifestyle through clothing companies which try to sell this lifestyle to the aspiring common populace who strive to overcome the reality of exclusivity.
