  • I know this is a silly question... but i was just wondering why its called posh nosh.

    anyone know?

  • Posh = snobby, pretentious

    Nosh = working class slang for food.

    So you have a deliberate ironic juxtaposition (= putting two words together that don't really go) - plus it's catchy and it rhymes.

  • lol... this guy doesn't even hold the wine glass properly - a giveway that he doen't know much about wine

  • Umm, that's part of the joke. Also if you know much about wine you'll recognise that as a Bordeaux bottle - German Riesling bottles are invariably taller and thinner.

  • My god, we have wine snobs criticising the shape of bottle or the way the glass is held. Don't you realise this programme takes the piss out of you people?

  • Yes, but don't Bordeaux bottles have a crimped carbundulum, traditionally, to allow greater frimerity in the long tannins? My last one did.

  • @meanvince briilliant XD

  • Oh God! You are all so hysterical!

    

  • @scarabus1 Yeah ... I don't think you're right about it being a Bordeaux.

  • @teazle2 He's really funny. So as I am American, and I was making friends watch Posh Nosh last night and the generally feelinf was, was itn't this on PBS?

  • umm wine people, wine is wine; you drink it if you like it drink some more and if you don't like then ummm.....Don't drink it?

  • @Crendle1 oh YES we certainly sometimes DO! lol

  • Grant is GOD.

    Withnail and I has to be one of the greatest films ever made!
