Also called "birds"

Rebecca and I were walking around the top deck last night after dinner and ran into two English girls who had seen our first show. They told us how much they enjoyed it and we got to talking about various things. At one point after Rebecca had said something, they remarked how much they loved our accents. Our plain, boring Midwestern accents.

Apparently, they think their English accents are "boring" and make them sound "posh," which is now apparently a bad thing?

So if nothing else, we at least sound cool to some of these people.

I've always enjoyed your and Rebecca's accents. Exotically Midwestern. I'm enjoying some wicked northeast accents in Maine.

Also, I miss you two. Enjoy the sea!

posh
–adjective
sumptuously furnished or appointed; luxurious: a posh apartment.

[Origin: 1915–20; of obscure orig.; cf.posha dandy (recorded as British slang in 1890); the popular notion that the word is an acronym from port out(ward), starboard home, said to be the preferred accommodation on ships traveling between England and India, is without foundation]
