  While in the course of discussing lofty and important things,
a person wondered what does "PU" stand for?  It's one of the
first thing kids learn when visiting strange Uncle Ralph or
when someone had beans the previous night.

  So, is it a farming term -- Pungent Udders, Putrid Ewes (-:
Or is it derived from Latin/Greek origins -- Pungentus Udderusess.
Ecclesiastical start -- after all, people sit in pews....
