I dont have the book in front of me, but I'm sure you mean to say "preps" not "prebs". Preps is short for "preppies" I think it's a term borrowed from our more affluent neighbors. Something to do with Preparation Colleges. Imagine ghetto kids dressing like Grosse Pointers!! (I guess it's funnier if you live here.) Pink and Green Izods, yellow sweaters wrapped around their shoulders, Dock Siders, wayfarers (sp), cotton Dockers, the whole nine yards (minus the mansion and yatch of course).
