Just in case anyone was like me and wondering what the heck STEED just said.

Toff

The word "toff" is thought to come from the word "tuft", which was a gold tassel worn by titled undergraduates at Oxford University or Cambridge University. The Anglo-Saxon word "toforan" has a meaning of "superiority". It is possible the derivation of "toff" is earlier than is generally supposed.
Other origins include the abbreviation of "toffee-nosed" This originates from the 19th century, where it was common for men of a higher class to use snuff. The use of snuff often caused the men's nose to leak a toffee-like nasal mucus. The men are thought to have tilted their heads slightly upwards to counteract this and from this action people would say "stuck up".

Totty

(UK, slang, English) sexually attractive women considered collectively; usually connoting a connection with the upper class. (slang, English) an individual sexually attractive woman
