Are You Posh?

[TWR]

We went out in our car today, done some shopping and then went for Lunch, or is it dinner????

[Jeza]

No Peter P a large Bacardi and coke.

Dicky, you've pinched my dream life... i want it back please. X

[DTCwordfan]

Its the freshly pressed newspapers, fresh bed and bathroom linen each day and a new shirt that I would like.

[Meg]

Lol Jeza, think we've met before, had my ration of fags and my tolerance of Bacardi and coke.

However, I am an extremely posh person, must depart before my tiara slips.

Most agree that its 8am breakfast 1pm lunch and 6pm dinner...so how come we all have Christmas dinner about 1pm?

[FredPuli43]

Because,Bright Spark,dinner is the main meal of the day, and you can't get more 'main' than Christmas dinner. It would be dinner if it were eaten at 8pm and is still dinner if it's eaten at 1pm. Whenever the dinner was eaten, the lesser meal that day would be supper or lunch depending on whether that lesser meal was in the evening or around 1pm..

[AlwaysConfused]

I work early, so it's a cup of tea at 2am, a cuppa-soup at 5am, breakfast 9am (which tends to be more of a lunch, ie curry or lasagne), lunch 1pm -which I always skip - then tea at about 5 or 6pm. Tea is quicker to say than dinner!

Posh:
early 20th century: perhaps from slang posh, denoting a dandy. There is no evidence to support the folk etymology that posh is formed from the initials of port out starboard home (referring to the more comfortable accommodation, out of the heat of the sun, on ships between England and India)
