A, dear, please, please, please, I never thought for a moment you were being patronizing. So sorry if I gave the impression. I really didn't know the procedure you describe, so I tried it out. Then I tried it out again. Like Barbar the Elephant riding a lift over and over again for the fun of it, (and to avoid other work). Please accept a bunch of flowers  as my apology. |

I wonder if the word "posh" has an equivalent in other languages, or if it's solely a product of the English preoccupation with class?
Would the French word for posh be le snob? snobinard (adj) - snooty, stuck-up; le snobisme - snobbery |

I shouldn't think so, because "posh" people aren't necessarily snobs, or unpleasant, or stuck-up..

Mary, that was the only French word that sprung to mind but I do think, in some peoples minds, posh = snob/stuck up. But this is just dealing with stereotypes, which I dislike. Going back to Byron's original equation I do wonder which public school Alan Sugar went to?  |

I am sure everybody on these boards know where the word "posh" comes from. If not, here it is "POSH": Portside Out, Starboa'd In. Looking at it just now, methinks where did the 'h' come in??

Spring is definitely here....I've mowed my grass twice this year already !
Oh dear. We haven't even seen our grass this year, and probably won't before April. 
I wonder if the word "posh" has an equivalent in other languages, or if it's solely a product of the English preoccupation with class?
Personally, I favour the Rom derivation, as in "posh rat" |
