Meaning and background

The story behind Popo

Popo is a German familiar or nursery word for the bottom, used especially when speaking to children. That meaning is recorded by a bilingual dictionary, but the same two repeated syllables could have unrelated associations in other languages. Without a particular owner’s context, identifying a German route for every Popo would be too confident. The repetition makes an easily called pet nickname while the word meaning is not necessarily intended.
