The act and joke were so widely known that the term was coined to refer to the headliner, the person in the top position.⠀ Do you want to be a top banana?

Hey there! Our slang word of the day is ”Posh,” which means “high-class, aristocratic.”⠀ Origin: The story goes that the more well-to-do passengers on ships travelling between England and India used to have POSH written against their bookings, standing for “Port Out, Starboard Home” (indicating the more desirable cabins, on the shady side of the ship). But there is no evidence to support this folk etymology. You need example sentences with pronunciation? Try our app for learning English slang - click the link onelink.to/ewf6kr Special offer!

Hey there!  Our slang word of the day is ”Vent”, which means “to express a negative emotion in a forceful way.”⠀ Etymology: A "vent" is an opening which allows air or steam to escape, and "ventilate" means "to allow fresh air to enter".
