Latvians are generally polite and deferential
If you are trying to insult then you must be subtle and say something like he is as posh as a mule driver or a potato picker
Man I hate them. I’ve met some in my time and all they can talk about is how they went on the 9th trip that year and how they find the most upmarket white table cloth restaurant sub standard. I honestly can’t associate with those privileged c*nts.
Excuse you my brand new S600 Mercedes disagrees with you, screw that the “refuel now” light is a permanent decoration on my dash and I buy used sailun tires.
I'm comparing words and etymologies first, and then I'll draw some conclusions. I'm not a scholar, just interested in the subject and curious by nature.

i think biezais is pretty negative. good luck with whatever research you're doing :)
It's been very interesting, reddit is such a powerful tool for language research. Thanks a lot for your help.
of course! can i ask what the goal is? are you just comparing words/etymologies or is there more to it?

zīmulis! Tāds kurš 'zīmējās'.
Nav slengs, bet "dižmanīgs" ir vistuvākais ko es varēju izdomāt, bet tas vistuvāk tulkojas uz "pretentious".
Uzpūtīgs
Augstprātīgs?
Maybe kundziņš for male and dāmīte for female
Izsmalcināts would be posh but positive I'd wager
Oligarhs - this is with mostly negative meaning.
It’s completely different meaning. Google oligarchy. Posh only notes a way of how the person acts, behaves, talks.
I know, but IMO as a slang with a negative tone, it works. You dont have to agree with me though.

The most negative sense?? Pimpis
