Why is 'poop' called 'poop'?

Answer 1

Some words become obsolete over time. The original meanings get lost. The word 'poop' might come from the from Middle English word poupen, which means to blow a horn, toot, of imitative origin. The obsolete poop, meant to break wind.

Parents teach their children the short version "poop", probably thinking it sounds cuter and is easier to say than words like excrement, feces, or bowel movement. Parents of 2-year-olds often say, "Did you poop yet?" or "Oh good girl, you made a poop in the toilet!" "Pooping" as part of potty training is more than enough reason for parents and their toddler to celebrate, because there is no longer a need for all those diapers. "Good boy -- you made a poopie!" Poop and Poopie therefore become almost standard childhood English.

However, by high school, kids have had science and health class. They've learned at least the word excrement in studying animals. As students age into young adulthood, adults expect them to use grown up words, "I can't move my bowels." "The public bathroom smells strongly of feces." And when they get married and have kids, their baby will smear feces at least one time on the wall... and once again, "poop" and "poopie" reenters adult vocabulary... and the cycle of kids learning this word starts again.

If you want to break the 'cycle' of this word, start using words like feces, bowel movement (BM), or even excrement.
