p = quiet
loud minus 'u'

Plod-P(quiet) -loud minus "U" =lud=plod

[bibblebub]

quiet = P, loud but not posh = LO(u)D

[ejayjay]

Sorry loud minus "U" = lod etc

Thanks everyone. Not sure if I'm being stuppid but still can't see why p=quiet & u=posh

[bibblebub]

P is short for the musical instruction Piano meaning soft

U (and non-U) are explained here https://en.wikipedia....i/U_and_non-U_English

[Wharton]

pianissimo - musical term meaning very soft - abbreviated to 'p'
upper class - abbreviated to 'u'

Many thanks. I certainly have learned something, will store away for future use.

[bibblebub]

p.s. pianissimo (that Wharton has given) is shortened to pp

[Wharton]
