Port Out Starboard Home. From the days of the British raj. When well-to-do folk went to India, the parts of the boat that were in the shade for the greater part of the journey and, therefore, the expensive tickets.

Port Out Starboard Home. It was the sea-term for where the first class passengers luggage was kept on ocean going liners. (Easiest place to get to if they wanted anything and first off at arrival in port.) The luggage would be stamped POSH. Hence - posh.
