I'm not entirely sure what it means. Wiki tells me:
> Preppy (also spelled as preppie or prep) is an American subculture associated with the alumni of college-preparatory schools in the Northeastern United States.
So certainly it's an inaccurate description! I went to a comprehensive in the north of England. But I don't think it was intended as an insult, and I don't take it as one.
All my knowledge about England comes from Harry Potter and the video game Bully, which takes place in New England (close enough I figured). People wear sweater vests and stuff.
Don't you object to being described as 'preppy'? I feel like we've had this conversation.

Also boat shoes, rowing or "crew" as I believe they call it, saying "I couldn't possibly"..
We call it rowing. I thought "crew" was an Americanism?
Aha, see, I didn't even know it was an Americanism.
Close enough for government work!
