Pooh
pooh
- 1593, "a 'vocal gesture' expressing the action of puffing anything away" [O.E.D.], first attested in Hamlet Act I, Scene III, where Polonius addresses Ophelia with, "Affection! pooh! you speak like a green girl, / Unsifted in such perilous circumstance. / Do you believe his tenders, as you call them?" But the "vocal gesture" is perhaps ancient. The slang reduplicated verb pooh-pooh "to dismiss lightly and contemptuously" is attested from 1827. Among the many 19th century theories of the origin of language was the Pooh-pooh theory (1860), which held that language grew from natural expressions of surprise, joy, pain, or grief. Pooh as baby-talk for "excrement" is from 1950s.
