"Posh" is actually derived from the Old English pwyscha, meaning "clean-smelling" -- it was the word often used to describe the areas of towns where the richer people lived, which tended to have slightly fewer animals wandering the streets and not to be quite so thickly-coated with night soil. æchava was the corresponding word for the poorer quarters.
