    Posh people: “your second cousin twice removed is the child of your grandfather’s half-sister-wife’s first child’s […]”

      Instead of poor people: that’s how the layers work at least in Latin cultures.

      The “Posh” one is how it works it British cultures. They’re different, but the second one in Hispanic cultures works the same for posh or poor people.
