Definition:

(informal) - teacher (apocope of professeur)

J'aime bien mon prof - I really like my teacher

Note: In France, professeur is always masculine even if the teacher is female: Laura est mon professeur - Laura is my teacher. Prof, however, can be masculine or feminine (as can professeur, in Canada).
