flr, That's what I'd heard. looking up the etymology though;
'... the etymology of "posh" is interesting and debated, with the most widely accepted theory being that it derives from the Romani word "posh," meaning "half"."

An easy way to remember is as follows. 'There is no RED PORT LEFT '.
The port side is on the left and the navigation lights are red for the port side and green for the starboard side. Planes have red and green lights on their wings also.

Posh, meaning Port over, Starboard Home. From richer people sailing from Britain to America. Which is where the posh thing came from. They chose the ship board locations to recieve the morning sun in their cabins.

The left side, port, was originally termed 'Larboard'.

Starboard Attitude is the name of one of my favorite bars, located on the RIGHT as soon as you start walking on the Redondo Beach pier in California.
