Pooh-pooh is the saying [0], which removes the fecal component from your statement.

Otherwise, that's been my experience with GoPro as well.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, it's the difference between literally taking a dump on something and figuratively doing so. Words matter. If that offends you, maybe you aren't as open to knowledge as you think.




Silly thing to nit, off topic, etc.

Also, since I see no reason why grammarist is more trustworthy than wiki, you're not even necessarily right: [from wiki] "A pooh-pooh (also styled as poo-poo)..."


Which wiki?


I'm right. Did you look at the wiki reference? It's a book called "Seventeen Versions of Jewishness: 20 Examples" by a comedy/children's writer. More likely that example slipped by the editor.


Good on you for not pooh-pooh-ing an errant "poo-poo."
