What does posh mean to you?

[Zucker]

I see this word used all over the boards, especially at this time of year year. Getting dh posh chocolates/pants or dd posh socks/biscuits/hot water bottle!

Where do you go for your posh stuff?

“Posh” to me, is really traditional upper class stuff: real tweed, Burnham Market, nice horses, living in a stately home. That kind of thing. I don’t think of it as income based, because I am definitely not posh but through career have gained enough of an income to buy expensive and lavish things with ease: but don’t have the well-bred taste for the exquisite and unique.

I suppose “posh” has also become a colloquialism for a top quality brand or artisan goods: so in terms of gifts, I presume Hotel Chocolate for sweets, organic farmshops for produce, boutiques for clothing.

I don't! Well...I do I suppose. I live in a small rural town in Australia and food and wine is BIG here. There are a lot of expensive, small producers so to me, they're "posh".

Dips and sauces for 20 dollars a jar instead of 7 dollars in the supermarket...but I know the contents are organic and they're made in small batches. Same with olive oils and soaps....I go for small producers at the farmer's market.

Or maybe “posh” even just means colloquially “a step above the everyday” - so again in terms of gifts, a dressing gown from Joules or the White Company rather than M&S even though they might all be virtually identical. Or a food hamper from Harrods.

Port out, starboard home.

You beat me to it Rachel

More expensive version of normal stuff. Naice ham etc

Stuff that isn't 'everyday' so a jo malone candle rather than a yankee, Lindt chocolate rather than maltesers, That's present posh for us

Yesterday our 8 year old niece stayed for tea. As I was getting a placemat for her she whispered to my partner "Auntie's getting the posh out".

Posh- the nickname for Peterborough United FC (a work colleague is a supporter).

If Peterborough United is Posh, there's the answer to the Russell Paradox. ;)
