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 f**k would they do that?  goddamn man, it’s ‘pish posh,’ i tell ya---and i wouldn’t lie to ya---what would be the f*****g 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 bullshit,” but without referencing the excrement of a bull.

 

“ok.  i figure that it’s as stupid as f*****g “posh spice” was, you know?  or like when the English talk about something all snazzy…something really expensive…something rich f***s do, ya know?  yeah, that is probably what “posh” is---f**k if i know what the “pish” part is about though.”

 

i think the English really say “pish tosh” & that dumb f**k Americans like yourself say it the other way.

 

“well, if that is the case, “dumbfuck 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.”

 

f**k if i know.  i thought i knew, but now i just don’t care.

 

“that makes two of us.”
