Pish Tosh, Go Posh
Maybe it's my near-debilitating hangover, maybe it's my encyclopedic knowledge of all things trivial, but I learned something the other day that I simply must share with you - the origin of the word "posh".

"They" say (whoever "they" are, I love "them"), that in the early days of sea voyage, first-class passengers knew to book port-side cabins on western voyages, and starboard cabins for the return trip home. This way, they avoided the harsh mid-day sun and were able to keep their cabins relatively cool. Portside-Out-Starboard-Home bookings soon became known as posh bookings. There you have it.

Take this nugget of information into your weekend and impress your friends and family. This is my gift to you. Off you go.
