And I've met many of person who arent doing that well but are extremely posh.

Poshness is completely different to having money and being well off. Its just quite often people who are well off are born into a well off family.

I do think that people dont seem to understand what the word means though. And I dont think it should be an excuse by some to dislike someone else, just as its wrong to dislike someone from a poor background.

There are great posh people, there are lousy posh people. There are also great poor people and lousy poor people. Basically as the saying goes never judge a book by its cover.

Money talks. It's the be all and end all in the class system. Now, living "classy" or "snobbish" which is synonymous with "posh" IMO, is a whole other story. You can be rich like Jordan, and look like a right *****. I wouldn't call her posh, but she can "buy" class. Everything has a sale price.

Also, the rich want to be chavs. They all want to pretend to be working class, from the streets, wearing track suits, and donning ice. What equates high class now, is really muddy.
