how to spot a toff (or mwah ha ha as we prefer to call them)

noun. a mildly derogatory term for someone with an aristocratic background, particularly someone who exudes an air of superiority

the boys wear pinky rings, dress in a ridiculously preppy manner, and enjoy hunting. the girls (aka sloanes) have purposely messed up {normally blonde} hair, with pashmina around the neck.

they have recieved a private school education and make good use of daddy's credit card. they are commonly spotted in notting hill (w10)

they can be heard saying things like:

'come on tabatha lets get bevved up at keyholes tonight and catch up with henry and marcus'
'my daddy drives a jaguar '
'rahh im a toff '
'I love polo'
'hi vicki, its bella, mummys just brought me a gucci watch, how amazing am i'

typical sloane conversation:
"felicity- ought we to tell poppy-mae that her earrings are only half a carat? she may make an awful faux-pas..."
"best not, constance...she may tell alexander, and then daddy will never let us go to the gymkhana this weekend."

know your mwah ha ha ha

fitties/birdage/top totty - attractive young women
hohmygod - exclamation following banal piece of gossip
sweetiedarls, what's the goss? - how are you?

it's GLO - It's guest list only
literally - metaphorically, e.g. "I'm literally dying" means "I'm quite tired."
i'm off-roading it - i'm in the country for the weekend
