Скачать или смотреть Why Do We Say ‘Poo’? The Surprisingly Simple Origin of the Word

Why do we say “poo” — and where does the word actually come from? 💩

In this episode of Fascinating Words and Phrases, Gareth explores the surprisingly modern and childlike origins of one of the most common words in the English language. Unlike many expressions, poo doesn’t come from Latin, Greek, or Old English — it comes straight from the nursery.

We also look at how Shakespeare used the word as an expression of nonsense, where poo-pooing an idea comes from, and why the word works so well as sound symbolism. There’s even a brief detour into Pooh Bear, toilet humour, and why some words sound exactly like what they describe.

If you enjoy playful language history, everyday word origins, and light-hearted curiosity about English, this one’s for you.
