Business-class passengers are how airlines make their money. They must be wooed by ever-fancier seats, posh food and plush lounges.
“It had always seemed to him a very plush kind of problem, a privilege, really, to consider whether life was meaningful or not.”
―Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
If so, it was not about that. Sihanouk—as he always called himself, in the third person—was shocked that the French, Cambodia’s colonial rulers, had chosen him as king. He was disturbed, too, that they expected him to be a figurehead like his father, pliant and cuddly, a little lamb. True, he stayed giggly all his life, with a penchant for making films, playing saxophone, fast cars and pretty women. Elvis might have played him, he thought. When excited, betraying his French education, he would cry “Ooh la la!” in his high child’s voice. But underneath he was a tiger.

plush
Modern plush is commonly manufactured from synthetic fibres such as polyester. Small stuffed animals made from plush fabric, such as teddy bears, are known as plushies. The French term for "teddy bear" is ours en peluche[1]. Large volume production of plush products occurred in California starting in the 1980s with companies such as Applause and Dakin.
Plush has lately been given a new lease of life as one of the main materials out which art toys or urban vinyl are made. For example, Friends With You have released plush art toys.
