Stands for ... Port OUT, Starboard Home . Comes from days of sailing/liners to India from Britain. Port side on way to India had shade in the morning (no sun coming into the cabin) and Starboard Home ...same thing. This was the expensive method, for the POSH cabins were higher priced due to demand. Now stands for rich, plush, extra nice, etc.

Posh is an adjective, with a dictionary meaning of "smart or fashionable", "elegant, stylishly luxurious", "spruced up, smart or polished.
In American English, "posh" is usually used to describe luxury objects -- the interior of a Rolls-Royce, for example, might be called posh. In British English, the same meaning for objects and styles holds, but people can also be posh (although not "a posh" as in the original usage), by which it is meant that they display both wealth and upper-class tastes. Often there is some implication of ostentation or snobbery in such a description, and it is usually used in a derogatory sense.
An on-going modern redefinition of "posh" was revealed in the television series "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous." Part of the wide appeal of the reality series The Osbournes was the contrast between blissfully unchanged and unpretentious rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his posh surroundings.

Posh is virtually synomonous with glamorous and luxurious. Both refer to very chic and trendy fashion or objects.

Do you really write it in capital letters or were you just triing something different?
