The word means rich, aristocratic, wealthy, loaded, fancy, toff, toffee nosed, upper crust, well off, or well to do. The origin of this word actually derives from an old Romany Gypsy slang word for pennies, i.e. if you've a lot of pennies you're well to do, rich, etc. In this light, the word posh can be used as a term of light hearted derision. Please note: a wrong but often repeated even on this website is the urban myth is that the word POSH orginated from Port Out Starboard Home - based on based on the position of the more expensive cabins on a passenger ships from England to India - but this is actually nonesense whch has been commonly repeated.
She looks really posh with that new pearl necklace. Have you seen her beatiful bone china tea set, it is really posh. She must be quite posh to have sent her children to Eton School. She talks quite posh.

A disposable vape device. The Posh is not some cheap gas station disposable. The Posh is poised and ready to compete with the recent crop of high-quality disposable vapes that have just hit the market.

The Posh delivers an authentic vaping experience. Pod users and mouth to lung vapers will love how much flavor this disposable generates. It may be easy to use, just open the package and vape away, but there were no shortcuts taken when engineering the Posh. Fuma Vapors deserves a lot of credit for creating such an attractive and effective disposable vape kit.

Unless you're a group of middle aged English aristocrats in the 40s I'm hitting you. No man says this and keeps his swag.
