...simply because I say I'm from Oxford. I don't even have a snotty accent either, just a banal run of the mill southern diluted-London accent. People seem to think our streets are paved with gold in O-Town.
that the poor live on estates, the gentry own estates and everyone else drives an estate.
The thing is, most of the gentry are skint now, poverty is relative and It takes me 45 minutes to drive across Bournemouth because everyone has bought a Toyota fucking Landcruiser to negotiate those treacherous curbs outside Waitrose!
Therefore, I'm not posh. I'd probably fail on every other possible criteria too, but I think sometimes I speak quite 'posh' for the area. But then I go southwards and I get too scared to speak.
(-------------)
I'd say.
Not very
Occasionally I can pass myself off as a posho though.
It's relative
I don't think I'm posh in any way, shape or form but compared to some people I'm like Lord Snooty
what does that even mean?
loads
I have to make a concerted effort
to pronounce 'water' correctly
please tell me you call it 'watter'
If that makes you happy
you should hear me talk about butter
ere yoth!
Y'wanna purra shot on them show-ders or yull get bont!
about the same as you
I ride around in a gold carriage
and gob on poor people.
*Carrion
Missed me this morning though didn' ya 'colonol'?!
We got yer number now you slag!
not at all
but I can interact with posh people when I have to without them thinking I'm a scobe
How do you measure this?
monocles
I come across
as a bit of a toff but really my life standards are dirt low. And I'm quite scruffy.
I get accussed of it all the time...
...simply because I say I'm from Oxford. I don't even have a snotty accent either, just a banal run of the mill southern diluted-London accent. People seem to think our streets are paved with gold in O-Town.
I have eight surnames
One of which is made from crushed faberge eggs.
:D
I traverse the streets of london
in an edwardian carriage, pulled by diamond-encrusted peacocks.
I will doff my golden top-hat at all the ladies who deserve my attention.
My dad
recently bought a yacht.
I'm the Duke of Edinburgh.
Greek bastard
I own a gun.

UTD!
Untie the Dingles?
I'll untie your dingles!
proper posh
geez
It depends on two main factors
Who I am talking to and whether I stick my little finger out when I drink my tea.
I was called posh last night for wanting Early Grey instead of inductrial builder tea at our work Christmas party.
fucking posh nonce
I've got GCSEs and everything.
Apparantly that makes me a bona fide toff.
Like Wayne Rooney
how dare he take 2 GCSE's?! Too much money these footballers. Think they are better than us, the sun reading public.
i get told
i speak posh by people here in hull. but down south no fucker can even understand what i'm saying.
I apologise
for people like me. I can hardly understand what people with the same accent as me are saying.
I think, on balance, you are one of the poshest people I have met.
pardon?
Exactly.
I would have said "WOT!?"
actually
Properly posh people don't say pardon, they say 'whet?!'.
don't worry about it
sometimes i can barely understand myself - my accent is slowly devolving into one big glottal stop.
i sound very posh indeed sometimes when i talk
but i'm not seriously moneyed, so i suppose it depends on your definition of the word.
^^
I don't think money has
that much to do with it
i sound posher than i am
i was just raised well
Cough *Portsmouth!*

My friend had gout,
but he is an irish builder.
He likes the high living too much (ie bacon and Guinness).
fairly posh
same school as hugh grant don't you know.
^^^this is all i need to pull stateside.
I'm bare posh innit blad, GOSH!
depends on the context
Im all about the fakery.
I remember someone commenting years ago.....
that the poor live on estates, the gentry own estates and everyone else drives an estate.
The thing is, most of the gentry are skint now, poverty is relative and It takes me 45 minutes to drive across Bournemouth because everyone has bought a Toyota fucking Landcruiser to negotiate those treacherous curbs outside Waitrose!
I just use the easy and I'm sure not very popular criteria
Of did you go to a private school?
Therefore, I'm not posh. I'd probably fail on every other possible criteria too, but I think sometimes I speak quite 'posh' for the area. But then I go southwards and I get too scared to speak.
I'm so posh
I only go to the toilet once a decade. When I do, the excrement is so compacted it has turned into a diamond.
I shit posh me.
I am not posh at all.
Sometimes I wish I was. But often I'm just glad I'm not.
I consider myself to be middle middle middle class
but my Mum is a very well spoken old school English teacher so I think I probably sound a bit posher than I should.
I went to london
and went to La caprice for a meal and stayed in the Lanesborough. I'm vehy vehy posh.
He ain't posh
