Stinky, P.U!

Apparently, one of my latent super powers is being Super Stinky.

"I once heard of a SUPER STINKY POWER that lies within. They say it can hypnotize (or make one pass out). . . ." ~Anonymous

This comment was posted yesterday by someone that may actually know my secret identity! I have always wondered why people say P.U. when I go by and then I began to wonder why do we say P.U. at all????


Well, it turns out that the Latin word for stink is "puteo" and that in English there are a number of words that signal disgust, or discomfort, like "phew" and "pew." So it looks like "PU!!" came from emphatically saying "pew."

Not that you wanted to know, but now you do.

So, I was thinking, I have a rapper name, but I probably need a super hero name. Something with crazy and stinky.

Daffy Puteo! How's that sound?

"F.Arty BOMB" - - that should be your super-Zero name.

I'd like to suggest "Higgins" but I'm not going to. That's because I couldn't find one crazy thing in this blog post. Rather, it was self-indulgent - hardly a quality for a super hero, unless it be a super blogger hero.

To rescue this post, I will have to swoop in like a super blogger hero and put the craziness in the comment section. There, that's it. Achieving the blog theme in the comment section is pretty crazy, and I have written about it.
