UK Slang Words

Dearest all,

I'm having problems understanding some of the slang words used in this forum. I was hoping that you would be kind enough to explain to me what the words actually mean?
(I'm obviously not from this part of the world)


1) rah
Context: "I feel uneasy in this college, because it is full of rahs who think too highly of themselves."

Posh bastards.

2) posh

Context: "Please stop your insults for I am not acting posh!"

...posh, perhaps ?


3) public school / private school

Context: "Prestigious University X is obviously biased against students from private schools."

Public schools = People pay to go to them.
Private schools = State run.

However, many people use it the other way around

4) Fit

Context: "Gosh, the girls at University Y are so fit!"

rah:
rich
arse
hole
