Easiest way to differentiate between poshos and non-poshos

Non-poshos will refer to their parents as "my mum" and "my dad", whilst low-tier poshos forgo the possessive pronouns and just say "mum" and "dad"
Extreme-tier poshos will regress to infantilism and say "mummy" and "daddy"
Thoughts?

The difference between upper class and lower class legs

"Upper class legs are thin and have a kneebone equidistant between the hipbone and anklebone. Lower class legs, by contrast, were thick with a long thigh and short calf."

Someone called me a posho recently.

I shanked them.

where do "mother" and "father" fit in?


Arrivistes who want to clothe themselves in what they think are the trappings of the landed gentry

Dickheads, basically

anything thats age can be determined on fingers

You seem like the kind of guy to come on TSR when hammered and make a really random thread. I like you.

It's clearly as a kind of emotional powerplay.


Either they have a difficult family background due to abuse (which is fine since it's not the child's fault) so they haven't come to terms with the idea that 'Tracy' or whoever is their mum, or it's massive test to see how their parents will react, hence brattish.

So those are the only two situations?
