Is doff another word for posh?

"Doff" and "posh" are not synonyms.

* Doff means to take off (usually a hat or other piece of clothing).

* Posh means stylish, elegant, and typically expensive.

You could say someone is "doffing their hat to poshness," meaning they are taking off their hat in respect or admiration of someone or something that is stylish and elegant. However, "doff" and "posh" don't mean the same thing on their own.
