The word is "Posh" meaning high-class and swanky, like ex-Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, who's also known as "Posh Spice."

However, contrary to popular belief, the word did NOT originally stand for "Port Out, Starboard Home" (referring to 1st class cabins shaded from the sun on outbound voyages east, and homeward heading voyages west). The musical movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" popularized this completely erroneous myth. (see link, below)
 
The word is "posh." It comes from the old days of sea travel from England to India and the Far East. A traveller's luggage would be marked P.O.S.H. which meant "Port Out, Starboard Home." That meant that the passenger's cabin was on the side of the ship away from the heat of the sun, (no air-conditioning in those days) so more expensive

She didnt even know how to spell it...so....I looked it up on google, and didnt find any definition on this. Is it like...slang??? I didnt even see anything in urban dictionary (if it were slang) ...
