Request to move "posh" from praise #96

Would it be possible to remove the word "posh" from the praise file https://github.com/rladies/praise/blob/ab66fe2b6080f0a2d55c4b3c395529a8271a4034/R/adjective.R as this isn't necessarily praise in British English? I checked this on Twitter as a poll as I wasn't sure if it was just me but it got quite a few votes saying no, it isn't a compliment. Although it can be used as praise as in, "don't you look posh!" it's never used in the constructed praise of "you are posh!".

Thanks for a great package - we are using this in our internal package and it's lovely to see who gets the next random praise (which is where I saw this phrase)!
