It's POO not POOH

[poshme]

Pooh is the bear- Winnie the Pooh.

Poo is shit.

In Scotland it’s ‘jobby’

@Goldencurtain

I have never seen anyone do this.

You will now you’ve said that 🤣🤣

Poopee.

Pooh is the bear
Jobbies are faeces

Jobby I like :).

Poop drives me insane though. Just say poo! It doesn’t make it any more palatable(!) adding a p on the end. Or an H for that matter.

Agreed.

See also “tele” instead of telly.

thought AA Milne explained somewhere that whilst Pooh is er Poo, Crhistopher Robin as a small child explained that it was actually "Winnie ther Pooh" so very different. So pooh is poo

100%. Pooh bear is not a shit. It makes me cringe and it seems to be getting more and more common.

100% agree OP!

Tele is right.

This is reminding me of my friend’s gran who used to refer to ‘windy-bindies’ instead of burps. My friend was winding her baby when her gran was visiting and the baby obliged. Her gran told her off for saying ‘burp’ instead of ‘up-top windy-bindy’.

My friend was utterly askance (and in her 30s so well past the point of being told off).

@SiSeniora

Tele is right.

It’s the etymological root but it’s an incredibly prissy and pretentious contraction. Telly is the standard spelling.

POO!! 💩

Definately Poo not Pooh (a bear) or poop with you 100%

@Silverstripe

In Scotland it’s ‘jobby’

I want to put a pink 'JOBBY' sign above our dowstairs loo but DH won't let me. Spoilsport.

Telly is correct.
Tele is incorrect.
Tele’ is technically correct but makes you sound like a bit of a prat.

Poop is awful! Worse than pooh, although that also is bad!

My late mum once came home from the shops frothing because she’d overheard someone referring to ‘Winnie the Shit’.

Shite!

And OP is most definitely correct. Pooh is a bear. Turds are poo.

This reminds me of someone I used to work with who when their children were small used the term "bottom burp" instead of trump. It just sounds worse than trump, it makes me feel ill

Poor little bear doesn't look like a turd.
