[ComtesseDeSpair]

Twee: anyone describing themselves of somebody else as “poorly”. Particularly grown adults saying they have a “poorly tummy.”

[katy1213]

Poorly is awful - but it's definitely not posh!
I knew someone once who used to say 'pretty please'. I'd have to restrain myself from very unpretty violence!

[ViciousJackdaw]

Glorious
Classy
Delicate
The word 'posh' itself (sorry OP!)

[Enough4me]

Awwwwfully...nice/kind/generous of you.
Mother /Father always says...
When I was a young lady...

'Supper' for dinner

Eughhhh

[MiddleClassProblem]

Supper
Ghastly
Mummy/daddy when an adult and not taking the piss

[Clareflairmare]

The pronouciation thee-ETT-a for theatre. I don’t know why but makes me very angry

[DramaAlpaca]

I detest the word 'poorly'. I won't use it.

I don't like 'supper' either. As a northerner I think supper is a snack before bed, but my quite posh friends use it to mean their evening meal.

I do sometimes use most of the words in the OP, with the exception of 'super' and 'spiffing'. My DC say I sound like someone out of an Enid Blyton book

[MiddleClassProblem]

Frightfully xyz

[laramacleopardprint]

Yes! Frightfully, jolly and marvellous, hate with a passion. I also can't stand poorly but say in my head with Northern accent for some reason. "Jolly marvellous game of croquet old chap. I say, 'tis getting frightfully chilly, fancy a spot of tea?"🤮

[missmouse101]

Oh my days. Adults talking about 'sleeps' until some event. Grown ups, when used by adults.

'Supper' for dinner

Eughhhh

Sorry but ... it's just a totally normal usage.

[ulanbatorismynextstop]

Supper for dinner is not normal where I'm from, v weird / posh.

[caughtalightsneeze]

Supper for dinner isn't used where I'm from, but on the other hand it's very common here for adults to call their parents mummy and daddy. Often 'my wee mummy' or 'my wee daddy' when they're talking about them and have reached an age where it clearly feels a bit awkward! But it's definitely not posh round these parts.

[GeorgiaGirl52]

Where I am from "supper" is the evening meal if it is smaller than the midday meal.
"Dinner" is the evening meal if it is the largest meal of the day.
Example:
We had soup and salad for lunch and then a big barbeque for dinner.
We had a roast beef and potatoes for Sunday dinner and then just ate roast beef sandwiches for supper.

[OzziePopPop]

A very posh bf called the country Kenya keen-yah. Ick. He also did the supper for dinner thing.

[lobsteroll]

@OzziePopPop Keenya 🤣🤣 makes me think of The Crown.

I don't mind at all if posh people say posh words, it's quite endearing when it comes naturally. It's when people put it on and say things on purpose, it's so contrived and uncomfortable 🤮

[Thisischocolate]

Poorly - sounds pathetic and twee

Supper - so old-fashioned

[Hesnotlocal]

An adult referring to another adult as her 'bestie'/BFF

[MikeUniformMike]

Came on to see how quickly supper got a mention. I'm not posh, and supper is a light evening meal, it is not a snack before bed.
