Posh people use the word ‘extraordinary’ in EVERY conversation

[HermioneMakepeace]

Has anyone else noticed this or AIBU?

Extraordinarily so, yes. I've noticed it too.
It's quite extraordinary, I must say.

In every conversation?

No, you are being extraordinarily unreasonable.

@ClutchingMyPearlsAppropriately I am so extraordinarily pleased that you have noticed it also 😊.

I find it extraordinary that you would even suggest that

I tend to use it after reading mr men books.

Yes and also ‘tremendous’

I love both words!

And terribly.

I'm quite posh but I don't say extraordinary much.

How many actually posh people have you conversed with and in what sort of setting?

Extraordinary number of people in quite extraordinary settings.

Not noticed it but you've inspired me to start using it, and tremendous sounds good too

I live overseas so I enjoy being reminded of fun words to use in conversation.

I say it a lot and I'm rough as fuck.

Hmm I don't think I actually know any posh people

My posh friend says "rather" all the time eg. I'm rather hungry, she's rather pretty etc.

She also says "I can't TELL you how..." eg I can't TELL you how lovely it is to see you etc.

But she didn’t say, ‘Shan’t’ .

I don’t think I do.

My posh friend says "absolutely" all the time. I love it.

I used to work with a very posh person who used extraordinary all the time - also splendid, terribly, awfully and tremendous.

Only if they are Mr Men surely?

No, I work with tonnes of posh people and I don't think any of them use the word that much.

'Super' on the other hand...

"I'm super excited"

"I'm super angry"

"I'm super hungry"

"Oh, cheese for lunch? Super!" 😂

Stop speaking to posh people and you won’t be bothered by it then.

"Oh, cheese for lunch? Super!"

Interesting. Besides this, the rest of your examples I've only heard 'youtubers', 'instagrammers' and the general "millenial" or 'Gen z' public say.

‘Super’ is definitely another posh people’s word.

I noticed that posh people also never use the word posh they use grand

Ghastly

Horrid

Unspeakable, which they’ll expand on in an increasing pitch of indignation.

Absolutely, when they mean yes.

Insufferable. You just know they haven’t done much suffering.
