FabSwingers.com forum: Are you posh?

I got this as an introductory message and it got me thinking enough that I actually answered it.

Are you posh?

What does that mean?

Not being British, it took me a while to figure out the real meaning of the word. I may or may not have got it right...

I assume it was intended due to where I live, which is a rather "posh" area.

Am I posh? I have a wardrobe that is approximately 5 times (or more) smaller than any other woman I know.

I live in a small flat that most would pass by with a sniff.

When I do buy anything, I tend to spend whatever it takes to get what I really want. Therefore, I go without until I am really sure I want it. But then, I'll splurge, if necessary, and spend quite a bit on it.

When I go on a date, I am as happy with a picnic in a park as I am being treated to an expensive meal (as long as I know that meal didn't mean the one paying spent half his weekly income on buying it).

I have some money. I don't live paycheck to paycheck but I like to only spend what I earn, in general.

Are you posh? What does that mean to you?

I always understood posh to be more about class and demeanour than wealth. I think you can be posh and not have a pot to piss in.

I often find that if you have good morals and values people tend to judge you and say you are posh or stuck up! I don't think people really know what it means but like to use the label when it suits them!

POSH

may have originated from passenger ships meaning.. Port out Starboard Home .

Means the poor people had to swop sides of the ship with the wealthier travellers so they avoided the bad weather on that side of the ship.

A few of my friends are what I'd call poor posh - they have beautiful estates but most of their money goes in to the upkeep of it (those houses are buggers for money draining), are titled and went to good schools and drive ancient good cares.

I'm not sure how I would define posh? If you go for the stereotypical view it would be schools, area you grew up in, accents, names, etiquette etc. But I don't think that's what makes you posh as you can have those things through money.

Posh is a very expansive term.

Please often confuse Posh & Class. Admittedly there are some connections.

Posh, is usually associated with Wealth. Basically if it is outside your affordability bracket and has some history to do and some pedigree people call it posh.

You can be posh and have zero class.

You can buy your way into being posh, but you'll still have zero class.

You could be homeless, no income and still be classy.

Class is more character and how one Carey's themselves.

Manners maketh the man!

You could put an idiot of a man with no repect for himself or other people for that matter in a Savile Row suit and call him posh....wouldn't make him classy

Pimms anyone?

Almost,

Its actually to do with the position of the sun on transatlantic sails.

Because we are in the northern hemisphere when the ship travels out to America the sun (on the equator) would always rise and fall on the port side.

And obviously on the way back to the UK the sun would then be on the Starboard side.

These cabin were more expensive as they had the sun all day, so people that could afford them would be known as POSH

It referred specifically to transatlantic journeys to the states. Port out, starboard home meant you were on the sunny side of the ship (south) for both journeys.

Unfortunately;

Incorrect;

The word posh was used way before that time;

It derives from a Romany word

Posh originally meant half, or " a bit" - "posh-karooni" being half a crown . It is recorded as far back as the 15th century.

It became the word for money generally;

So someone " had a bit of posh " or " was posh", they had money.

There is no link ever found to the "port out, starboard home" theory; it's a myth. Started in about 1930.

I think posh is a catch all description used for everyone from the queen to someone who sounds their 't' and 'h'.

People quite often think we're posh. It's their prerogative.

Hmmm.

I remember a disparaging remark in the late MP/philanderer Alan Clark's rather sleazy and cruel diaries, when Clark was looking down his nose at Jeffery Archer "as a man who'd had to buy his own furniture" (ie, hadn't inherited it).

Very nearly correct. the two voyages were totally separate so no one had to swap cabins.

The weather is similar on both sides of a ship but sailing east to west the Port side would get direct sunshine and on the return the Starboard would.

I think after working in a high end clothes store, a suit shop (both part time) & now do manual labour, that my perception of posh has totally changed. I used to associate being 'posh' with wealth but as ive grown older & known more people, posh is 100% a demeanor. I tend to find the only people who are posh are those who intentionally label themselves as such & will go out of their way to behave in such a manner, letting people know that they see themselves as 'posh'.

I, myself, buy many 'high end' products & am particular in what I buy, but in my experince that isnt what posh is. Posh isnt defined by wealth, as everybody's money spends the same.

In short, the only people who are 'posh' are those who openly label themselves as such. Its more a state of mind than an actual being.

Also, to further add to my point (potentially to some controversy here) I have found in my experience those who worry about being 'posh' or label themselves as such are the only people bothered about actually being 'posh'

Whilst people who are regarded as posh; seldom refer to themselves as posh;

I would have to disagree completely there. As I said I dont find 'posh' to be anything more than a state of mind for those who wish to believe they are as such. Maybe in the past it was but this day & age I feel people are moreso defined by how rich they are, which is more fitting given that money is a much more physical entity than being posh (although telling someone they are rich isnt an insult at all)

Is that not just, you know, normal behaviour?

Dont that depend with your usin them for?

for purpose intended

That's not posh then, that's just "unimaginative"

;-)

ahhhhh you should see what i can do with a balloon whisk though

A soufflé omelette for afterwards?

I aint comin unless theres serviettes and a proper cruet though.

'Afterwards', posh people call it pudding

dessert if you are extra posh"

Erm no! Never. Unless you are in France, speaking French.

It's Pudding.

The word dessert may be used if you are serving some fruit later in the evening,

But that is only after pudding, cheese, coffee and Port and cigars; and the meal has finished.

And is simply for refreshing the palate later.

I once got told I was posh because I used a serviette to wipe jagerbomb off my cleavage, I think that probably says more about about the people I've d*unk with than it does me perhaps?

I'm not sure there is a tangible definition of what "posh" is; its probably used more by people about others who appear to be wealthier be it cash rich or asset rich and speak well.

I'd argue that anyone that calls themselves posh is most definitley not.

some people call me posh because I talk politely and like poetry, opera and classical music......I also like swearing during sex, heavy rock and being spanked - so maybe they don't know me really well! x x x

I get told I'm posh but really I am not. I do have a nice home but I got that through hard work. I'm polite and sound like Alan Rickman. Perhaps that goes against my working class roots.

"I got this as an introductory message and it got me thinking enough that I actually answered it.

Are you posh?

What does that mean?

Not being British, it took me a while to figure out the real meaning of the word. I may or may not have got it right...

I assume it was intended due to where I live, which is a rather "posh" area.

Am I posh? I have a wardrobe that is approximately 5 times (or more) smaller than any other woman I know.

I live in a small flat that most would pass by with a sniff.

I have some money. I don't live paycheck to paycheck but I like to only spend what I earn, in general.

Are you posh? What does that mean to you?

Probably meant to say are you polish

"POSH

may have originated from passenger ships meaning.. Port out Starboard Home .

Means the poor people had to swop sides of the ship with the wealthier travellers so they avoided the bad weather on that side of the ship.

"
You're spot on. Came from ocean going liners of the 19th century.

Port Outer, Starboard Home.

They were the best rooms that only the wealthy could afford.

Posh is one of those words bandied around. I remember at senior school being picked on as they thought I spoke 'posh'

the reality being I had a wider vocabulary (didn't use slang) & enunciated my words.

To fit in I used to 'common' it up at school & then revert back to normal at home.

There is no link ever found to the "port out, starboard home" theory; it's a myth. Started in about 1930.

I got one.

In the CCF we were taught that as a mnemonic to remember which side of the channel to stay while enterin an leavin harbour

Aint it funny how its changed. It used to be said it twere to av the cooler cabins while sailing to the Raj

"Posh to me would be someone who is brought up in an affluent family, who is well spoken and has very good social skills.

So my butler explained to me the other day.

But then the gardener thinks the butler is posh."

That's a good idea to ask the staff

Sorry but it didn't;

The word posh was in common use in the 15th century to describe money , or people who had money. It predates commercial shipping by several centuries.

The ship thing (Port Out, Starboard Home) is a complete myth; that explanation first arises in the 1930s.

Despite efforts, no evidence of the ship explanation has ever been found.

Apparently I speak and act posh. At uni, for the first few weeks, everyone on my course thought I came from a priveliged background lol.

I admit, upon hearing my voice on recordings, I do sound posh, but I think it's more due to not having a discernible accent or dialect.

It's been labelled at us, more so Mrs N because 'it's the way she is' it was said. Personally the fur coat and no nickers attire doesn't make her posh at all in my book.
