POSH is a description of a person with a luxurious life style, nice manners and high expectations. (best I can do at such short notice)
The origin is from the days of sail ships going back and forth to the British Asian colonies. The most expensive cabins were shaded from the sun on the port side going out and on the starboard side coming home. Port Out Starboard Home - POSH.
Honestly I didn't get this from Wikipedia, I have always enjoyed telling the Brits about this - they seldom know.
Did I tell you about my ride today, practising riding skills for 200 miles? That was fun, but I won't bore you more than I already have...
Have a nice weekend [thumbsup]
