Well, no prizes for guessing.
Pee, Poop, Puke.....all start with....???
Pee ...Urine
Poop.... Feces
Puke.... Vomit
Have they coined words for farting and snot with the letter? I am not conversant with Americanese.
Even Potty training is ...well..it too starts with P.
Makes me wonder why the Americans are so obsessed with that letter.
At my end, I am glad my name does not start or even have that letter. Makes me feel so clean. Evil Grin.
P.S. Sorry to all those whose name begins with P. Only morning musing..not meant to hurt you. You are still my friend.

@vandana7 I saw on fb a video of a cat and dog ... the dog farted and the cat gave him a couple of swats on the head before leaving.

Parp or Parping for farting. Can't think of one for snot, you'll have to invent one!

Pump is also farting. I don’t think ladies do it though.

We British often use the word “pump” instead of fart.
Snot could be “pus”
Often the “p” is silent, as in swimming pool.

@vandana7 We British invented humour. Or was it the Irish? Dignified my arrse!

@vandana7 I’ve just thought of another - Phlegm.
It’s sounds like it starts with an F, but it’s definitely a P.

Anna, in many ways I am just a regular woman, mother, and grandmother. But not everyone talks like that here. There were some things my grandmothers both drilled in to my head-. You were not allowed to say fart and some other words as well. If it had something to do with one of those functions you needed to be discreet about it. Discussing bodily functions in babies was accepted for some reason, but that was it.

I was not offended over the use of the P words.

I´ve never thought of any letter to be unfortunate. In Spanish poop starts with a C. And Pop, the nicest way to say father, starts with a P.

@vandana7 Webster’s is an American dictionary. The Oxford English Dictionary, or OED, is what we Brits use, and I’m pretty sure all these words are in it.

Vanny, you have a funny sense of humor. No wonder you fit right in around here!
Just kidding...I never thought about the letter P like that. But you are right!

Both my maiden name and my married name start with the letter P. I always hated when I was distinguished from another student at school or from another adult with the same first name by being called out, Cindy P. It always sounds like a command. LOL

'P' is the sound you make when you spit, so it might convey disgust.
Poor people whose name starts with P. Actually, pppoor pppeople in general.
