Posh
Intended to refer to luxurious. Origin is "Port Outward Starboard
Home". Originated in the days of The East India Company's ships departing
from the UK for the Indian Ocean southward along the coast of Africa and
around the horn of Africa and returning the same way. The Port or left
side of the ship's cabins faced east and received the AM sun (plus the
coastal view). The opposite was true on the return trip.
