Supposedly ’posh’ things you think are common *trigger warning this is light hearted*

[ReadingWorm]

Obviously lighthearted and no need to explain your rational. But what are things that some people consider high end/ posh/ classy/ aspirational (I know they are not necessarily the same thing) that you don’t like/ think are tacky/ common / etc.

Again this is light hearted. We can complain but we must never explain!!!!!!

Here is my list.

Molton Brown hand wash
M&S food shop
American Style Fridges
Having a tan
Talking about exercising
Beauty Advent Calendars
Designer toasters and kettles
House of Fraser department stores
Posting photos from 1st class travel on instagram
Referring to your car by its brand name
Talking about your ‘forever home’
Shopping in Space NK
Visiting Disney World
Listening to Classic FM

Turkey teeth
Huge lips
Bad blonde extensions
Huge eyelashes
F-Pace Jaguars are replacing Evoques or huge Merc SUVs
Grey house, grey everywhere
plastic grass not a plant in sight
coordinated children, must be themed for example friend had a wee boy he always wears sage green and beige like his nursery never blue
sunned tan
Turkey bags

Cocaine

@sweetkitty none of those are considered "posh"

Referring to any rented home, as a “ Villa “ (except of course in Italy. )

Massive Rolex

• 4x4 in the city
• grey window frames
• gauche designer labels
• filler and duck lips
• books on shelves facing the wrong way 😱
• black taps/bathroom fittings
• electric Agas
• grey carpet
• Dubai

Yes, raving about Dubai being great because you can wear your Rolex …

Sorry, what does that mean?

Because people spit and puke and piss in the street and dogs piss and shit in the street and this is walked into your home where it dries, becomes dust and you inhale it. This stuff is at least organic though compared to the dust and powdered rubber and general contaminants.

Great if you are trying to increase your immunity maybe but to most people it is nicer to minimise this if possible.

What’s wrong with calling dinner supper?

Cristal taps or door handles

I don't know. If someone invents a way to make taps and door handles out of champagne, I'm definitely getting some. The 2014 is phenomenal.

What exactly do you think you may be inhaling whilst out in public then?

Agree.

And there’s Range Rovers and Range Rovers. Pink, white or other flashy colour, tinted windows, heavily customised or new editions = not posh/ misguided posh.

Dark colour, older model, covered in mud as used off road = proper posh.

Show oil 🤣

The point being the correct spelling is crystal .

Cristal is champagne.

Harrods.

Eugh.

It's a quote from Tropic Thunder where Tom Cruise is trying to persuade Matthew McConaughey to let someone die for money.

Les Grossman: Speedman is a dying star. A white dwarf headed for a black hole. That's physics. It's inevitable.

Studio Executive Rob Slolom: We've been handed an incredible opportunity here Peck

Les Grossman: The universe. is talking to us right now. You just gotta listen.

Turns on T-Pain's Apple Bottom Jeans and begins to dance to the beat

Les Grossman: See this is the good part, Pecker. This is when the job gets fun! Ask and you shall receive!

Studio Executive Rob Stolom (dancing along) Right

Les Grossman: You play ball. we play ball. I knoowwww... you want the goodies

Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Welcome to the goodie room!

Les Grossman: You paying attention? I'm talking... G5, Pecker! That's how you can roll. No more frequent flyer bitch
miles for my boy! Oh yeah! Playa... playa! Big dick playa!

Studio Executive Rob Slolom: Swinging past ya knees!

Les Grossman: Big dick, baby!

Studio Executive Rob Slalom: Yep.

Les Grossman: turns off the music Or... you can grow a conscience in the next five minutes and see where that takes you.

Rick Peck: Let me get this straight. You want me to let my client of 15 years, one of my best friends, die in the jungle alone, for some money and a G5?

Les Grossman: Yes

Rick Peck: [pause] A G5 airplane?

Les Grossman: (whispering) Yes... and lots of money... playaaaa

[turns on the music and dances again]

None of these are seen as posh. They’re a word you can’t use on MN …

And it is loo.

Done/curled hair that doesn't have strands of hair that can blow in the wind.
Rote learning of an instrument/ or ballet.
Being too unkempt or too clean.
Obsession with having all their cars 'off' the road.
Kitchen extensions/attic conversions
Long haul holidays/ city breaks
Uptight stessy families, immaculately dressed and groomed, all pursed lipped, frozen smiles and no manners.
BBC newsreaders.

Isn’t Rolex bling not posh?

I’m wondering if this thread is meaning Posh Spice posh? Or actual posh?

Wisteria is lovely. This thread is weird.

Isn’t it lavatory ;)
And I also thought supper was also technically correct, unless you’re having a 3 course meal every evening

Yes, a light evening meal is supper.

And loo is “U.”

Covering everything with Swarovski crystals and getting charged for the privilege. Every time I watch one of those channel 5 how the other half live shows there is always someone who has started a business directly to appeal to the super rich which usually involves covering an everyday object with Swarovski crystals to make it a luxury item. Most bizarre one I saw was a Henry hoover.

Also big empty houses with double staircases, black and white decor and the morgue-like clinical white surfaces everywhere. No characters.
