1. There's a socioeconomic fault line running through Neptune High, and it's the "why" at the base of the school's troubles. On one side, you have the working-class kids; on the other, you have the super-rich. What does Veronica call the rich kids?
From Quiz The Whys of Neptune High
Answer:
09ers
Located in southern California somewhere between San Diego and Los Angeles, the fictional town of Neptune is not subtle in its class divisions. The poorer families live on one side of town; the rich ones live on the other, in the 90909 postal code. (Hence, "09ers".) And when Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) says "rich," she really means it; the kids' parents include movie stars, real-estate moguls, software magnates, and hip-hop impresarios. Quite a lot of her classmates are millionaires. Some are billionaires. So perhaps it's inevitable that the 09ers don't seem to have to play by the same rules...
