The word nephritis popped into my head, but I'm not sure if it is a word.
If it isn't, I'll guess nepotism.

nepotism is correct, both from the latin nepos meaning grandson so lots of bastardization going on there. over to the chief minister.

Yeah I always thought it was Port Out, Starboard Home, which meant those cabins always got the best of the Sun at the right times etc.. so the cabins were dearer. There is now a klaxon sounding and a studio audience is laughing at me.

Posh is actually an old slang word for money, and there is no recorded instance of upper-class people having their tickets stamped with POSH...
