The term "posh" entered the English language as a descriptor for something elegant or stylishly luxurious, but its exact etymology is uncertain. It may have originated from Romani words or slang terms related to money.

Obeney will be able to confirm but I think posh stands for Port Out Starboard Home.

Putting on my pedant hat, I believe the etymology of posh derives from those on passenger liners sailing out of Southampton who had good views one side and shit views the other side from cabin windows. So the expensive seats were "Portside Out and Starboardside Home." P O S H. Geddit ?

My understanding is 'posh' relates to travelling on a ship i.e. is short for port out, starboard home, so surely our poshest supporter is Obeney

Susie DEnt lexicographer and etymologist of Countdown fame and has written numerous books on the English language says that the shipping reference of POSH is a good story but has no evidence to back it up. Instead she goes for its derivation originating from a Romani word or slang for money as Partisan Lion says.

I have a mate called Andy who used to come sometimes in the early 2000s; he's quite posh - he distinctly pronounces the letter 't' when saying 'cunt'.

Clearly she knows nothing as she does not know the origin of the word posh.
