Okay, okay, maybe you've heard the term 'posh' or 'posho' when referring to fancy British people. You're aware that this country has a reputation for its class system. But what does it actually mean? To answer this question, we brought in TF founding cohost and knower of fancy tendencies Charlie Palmer to discuss. It's all here: getting ripped at 11 am on Dubonnet, wearing a straw hat every day at school, absurd nicknames, gibberish words for everyday items, and the profound sorrow of clinging to the cultural artefacts of feudalism.

Oh god flashback to a Burns Night Supper I went to in Cumbria, bunch of poshos saying they considered themselves more scottish than english. Kid of the family I was staying with was down from Edinburgh Uni.

I grew up in rural, inland Washington state in the Pacific Northwest, and I had a friend who grew up north of Seattle and he would get angry at me because he thought I was affecting a Southern accent. It was his first time hearing rural American accents, and the drawl really stood out to him. It was stark how deep the class/linguistic/political divide was inside the same state, due to us growing up 300 miles apart, one on a desert farm and the other in a port city, both broke as shit and separated by a mountain range.
