Time for a new round! The word this time is poshlost. I'll probably be embarrassed to discover that I'm the only person on the board who DIDN'T know what it was (I truly didn't), but I'll throw it out there. Friday the 13th comes on Saturday this month, so have your answers in by the end of the day on the 13th. PM your definitions to me.

...including mine, where I did an extended (for me) riff on it. (actually®, it included Vladimir Nobokov's riff)
