Define Posh

Okay hopefully a bit of fun, how do you define someone as "posh". What traits qualify you as one? Also what are the "posh" areas of the country?

Here's my list:
* Must have a stupidly posh accent.
* Their parents must own a land rover
* They must have attended private school and refer to their old school friends as "chums"
* They watch Ruby rather than Football

Posh areas:
Cheltenham Spa
Clifton, Bristol
Wilmslow, Cheshire

It's pronounced "poshe" btw

Clifton, LOL. I can only assume very low standards here based on that.

Wilmslow isn't that posh, I mean, I lived there ffs. :eek:

abbreviation POSH standing for 'port out, starboard home', used to be stamped on the tickets of well off passengers travelling on ships, meaning their room would be on the part of the ship with the most shade.

How can you count "posh accent" as a definition of posh. It's like defining the colour orange as "it's orange".

yes mistress

You can't define 'posh' by a series of bizarre attributes. I mean, must drive a Land Rover? So if somebody chose a Land Cruiser instead they are 'not posh'?
