Summary

Okay, okay, maybe you've heard the term 'posh' or 'posho' when referring to fancy British people. You're aware that this country has a reputation for its class system. But what does it actually mean? To answer this question, we brought in TF founding cohost and knower of fancy tendencies Charlie Palmer to discuss. It's all here: getting ripped at 11 am on Dubonnet, wearing a straw hat every day at school, absurd nicknames, gibberish words for everyday items, and the profound sorrow of clinging to the cultural artefacts of feudalism. We offer one Britainology a month in addition to all the weekly TF bonus content for $5 a month, and if you desperately want more Britainology, there's also a second episode available each month on the $10 tier.

even though she's a co-host and has been a host. We talked to her almost every day. Yeah. I had no idea. That's weird.
