The Dictionary of Posh - Incorporating the Fall and Rise of the Pails-Hurtingseaux Family

Hidden within normal English is a separate language still spoken by those born with silver spoons in their mouths. It-s called Posh. A word of English can be spelt the same but mean something completely different in Posh. If you say the word -Mention- in English, people will understand -Remark upon-; but in Posh this means a large house. Say -Ace- and speakers of Posh will think you are referring to a cold thing one-s butler puts in a G&T.Hugh Kellett hilariously captures the spirit and nuances of those who speak Posh and, allied with Oliver Preston-s brilliantly accurate cartoons, this book is the key to understanding and interpreting this language - literally with tongue-in-cheek.
