The Dictionary of Posh

The Dictionary of Posh serves as an essential guide to the (ab)use of many English words by the decidedly upmarket and the resultant - and endangered - language they speak: Posh

---

This is a right royal comedy of errors.

Hidden within normal English is a separate language still spoken by those born with silver spoons in their mouths. It's called Posh. A word of English can be spelt the same but mean something completely different in Posh. If you say the word "Mention" in English, people will understand "Remark upon"; but in Posh this means a large house. Say "Ace" and speakers of
Posh will think you are referring to a cold thing one's butler puts in one's G&T.

This book will help you learn Posh, often with side-splitting consequences.

To aid rapid mastery, helpful examples of the various words in the dictionary are given in context.

These helpful examples collectively add up to a story within the dictionary - Incorporating the Fall and Rise of the Pails-Hurtingseaux Family - the sorry saga of riches, ruin and redemption that this book really is.
