What is 09er?
1.
Someone who grew up in Alamo Heights, TX, an inburb of San Antonio. The zip code is 78209. Average income in San Antonio, 30k, average income in Alamo Heights, 76k. Kids there grow up feeling entitled, and usually go to an Ivy League, Rice, SMU, Trinity, or another liberal arts school, and then move right back to Alamo Heights. Named as one of the best neighborhoods in the US in the infamous Preppy Handbook.
Adapted as a term by Rob Thomas, director of the TV show Veronica Mars, as a term for the preppies of Neptune High. Thomas is a native of San Marcos, TX, just north of San Antonio.
Isn't Jack is such an 09er? He did grow up over on Argyle and went to Trinity. Did you see what he was wearing? Stinky old Alden tassel loafers, madras shorts, a Sorbonne t-shirt, and his grandfather's Rolex on a grosgrain ribbon. But he *is* very nice to the help and volunteers at St Luke's every Sunday, and was a part of the Rey Feo court in 2004. I think his grandmother lives in the penthouse of Bushnell and is kind of a pill popper, too.

Oh, God, Jack is such an 09er. I mean, I know he grew up over on Argylle and went to Trinity. Did you see what he was wearing? Stinky old Alden tassel loafers, madras shorts, a Sorbonne t-shirt, and his grandfather's Rolex on a grosgrain ribbon. But he *is* very nice to the help and volunteers at St Luke's every Sunday, and was a part of the Rey Feo court in 2004. He does drink a bit, I think.
