Apologies if this has already come up but has pooh (as in Winnie) started to mean the same as poo? Am I just a bit thick and this is right or has A.A. Milne started to infiltrate faecal matter?

Was this on another thread?

You’re right. Don’t know why people add the h.

No, it’s not the same.

The only other context is to “pooh-pooh” something (e.g. “my wonderful idea was pooh-poohed by the committee”).
