The Expression is "Pooh-Poohing", Not "poo-pooing". Thank You for Your Kind Attention,
my dear DUer.

"pooh-pooh (pū'pū')
tr.v. Informal., -poohed, -pooh·ing, -poohs.
To express contempt for or impatience about; make light of."

Again, I thank you most sincerely for the kind and generous consideration afforded my post. I'm not sure what "poo-pooing" is, but I have a pretty good idea of what it looks like. :D

1. Some things deserve to be poo-pooed; merely pooh-poohing isn't sufficient.
In fact, steaming poo-poo is sometimes required.

2. Poo-pooing is what comes out
when you make an ass of yourself.

47. More that drive me INSANE -- where/were, woman/women, accept/except/expect(!)
"But yesterday they where right there"

"A women's right to choose"

I don't like being a snob, but it's painful when a DU poster tries to deride somebody else's spelling as farcicle.

oh, and getting a "sneek peak" at something. aaargh.

34. thank you, sir, for your kind response...
after an evening of, might i say, brilliant posts and nary a reply, after completely shunning the english language, even casting aside all punctuation and capitalization, all i say is "poop" and receive a thoughtful, most beautiful retort such as yours, all i can do is express my utter appreciation...

i tip my hat to you, sir and wish you a glorious evening.

40. I was wonderin' about them "i" whatchamacallums.
I highly recommend discourse with scarletwoman, she's quite brilliant, despite the disreputable and dimwitted company she sometimes keeps as a kind favor to me.

I've noticed that there is not a lot of traffic here tonight, so that may in some part be contributing to your frustration, if it is indeed frustration and not merely marveling at the irony of it all. :-)

23. Some people pretend to be pooh-pooing in order to attract attention.
When this happens, it's called





sham-pooing.
