PoshMy dad's family are posh - there's at least one knight and an ex-lord mayor of london. My mum's family come from Staines.
How posh are you? Who's the poshest person you've met? Be proud and tell us your poshest moments.

Thank you unlawful odour for the clarification!So now I will say that...
Despite the fact that half of my family was, two generations ago, *gasp* Southern Baptist redneck hicks from Mississippi;
Despite the fact that my grandmother dropped out of school in the 8th grade to work in a tomato-canning plant to support the family;
Despite the fact that we once thought owning a 10-year-old, beat-to-shit BMW made us positively upper-crust;
I now declare myself, financially reformed*, to be posh because genealogy research has shown me to be a direct descendent of Sir James "the Black" Douglas. Hooray!
Funny, I knew the "port-out" acronym but the actually meaning seemed so fluid...
*i.e., no longer poor-as-shit
