Pish Tosh
“no, it’s ‘pish posh’”
really? i heard it on this one program where i most certainly thought they said “pish tosh,” as if they were too snobby to say the words that they really wanted to say?
“well why the **** would they do that? goddamn man, it’s ‘pish posh,’ i tell ya---and i wouldn’t lie to ya---what would be the ****ing point of that?”
well, i’m just saying what i heard. come to think of it, it might of meant, in the way that they were using it, that “pish tosh” meant something ridiculous…you know, like saying “that’s just ********,” but without referencing the excrement of a bull.
“ok. i figure that it’s as stupid as ****ing “posh spice” was, you know? or like when the English talk about something all snazzy…something really expensive…something rich ****s do, ya know? yeah, that is probably what “posh” is---**** if i know what the “pish” part is about though.”
i think the English really say “pish tosh” & that dumb **** Americans like yourself say it the other way.
“well, if that is the case, “dumb**** American,” then what does “pish tosh” mean? if it doesn’t mean “pish posh” and you insist on saying that the Brits use it in a different way, then you tell me what it means, genius.”
**** if i know. i thought i knew, but now i just don’t care.
“that makes two of us.”
