Why posh is called port out starboard home?
The term posh derives from the time when passengers on liners would have cabins on the port side of a shim on the way out to India,this being the cooler side of the ship and the starboard side on the way back home which was then the cooler side....thus Port out...starboard home..as only first class passengers could afford this luxury it coined the term Posh. It has since come to mean anyone with money.
