Define Posh

[dangerstat]

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

*looks suspicious*

Clifton Village is well posh!

Who's this 'Ruby' you're on about?

Lol I didn't notice that!

 

[dangerstat]

Yawn

You must be a poshy then! GET HIM OCUK!

 

[dangerstat]

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'?

This isn't really serious is it Fox, I'm not actually going to be going around asking people a check list to see if they are posh, just meant as a bit of fun.

Posh is totally different to rich.

For example Mike Ashley

when a flat mate says
"my daddies not happy unless he has a yacht"

When I was at uni, I was sat around with a girl from my course:
"What you upto this weekend?" - me
"I'm flying to Madrid for a fashion show" - her

= POSH

Well we can't all live in Aldery Edge, snob.

Aldery Edge is to close to the Mac to be considered posh

 

[dangerstat]

She says they're real therefore they're real. She just know how to make 'em noticable thats all

Her bewbs are about as real as Fox's friendly side

 

[dangerstat]

Okay so hands up, who on here would confess to being posh?

I'm certainly not.

 

[dangerstat]

I associate a snob with someone (who may well be posh) that thinks they are superior to "normal" folk. Where posh is a combination of wealth and life style. It's just interesting that I've never met anyone who my friends have classed as posh, that I did not in turn think where posh - so there must be (perhaps just between my social group) a set of norms that we associate with posh, hence why I made the thread.

I don't like it when people say "I just speak correctly". Just because you may have a regional accent that does not mean you do not speak correctly.

No, Edinburgh.

And seriously, who cares? If buying a shirt makes me look like a 'moron' to some people but it means that all I have to do is wear it, give some chat, buy one or two drinks and I get to go home with some naive fresher, then fine, I'm okay with that.

Wouldn't you rather not look like a berk and pull a girl that actually has a brain?

 

[dangerstat]

You're really quite bitter if you think that girls who like Jack Wills don't have a brain.

Why am I bitter? Perhaps it's just an observation based on experience from someone older and wiser than yourself
