When a 7 year old child is new to Winnie the Pooh that child often interprets it to be poo. I'd like to be able to explain the history of that word.

Hello, user 1605665, and thanks for visiting. Your question seems quite interesting, and with a little more research could be a really great one. Do you mind if we edit to make it more on-topic?

I will note that when I was a kid the expression "Oh, pooh!" was common, with a meaning I interpreted as "Don't be ridiculous!" It was used without caution around children, and there never was any hint of a bathroom association.
