Posh or push or poosh, meaning fashionable or splendid appears in Cambridge University slang in 1903 when P.G. Wodehouse writes of a brightly colored waistcoat that it is "quite the most push thing around." The derivation from "Port Out Starboard Home" is fanciful. Partridge prefers to derive posh from a contraction of "'polished."
