QUERY: Antonym for poshlust?
From

Body
[Query from a List member. SES]
I don't know whether asking such question here is appropriate, but here I go:
What could be an antonym of poshlost? In Russian especially, but could be a
word play mixing several languages, with consideration of etymology perhaps.
(Poshlost coming from "common people" in Russian?)
