Some of you had the temerity to laugh at the fact that one of my nicknames is Poopy!! The person who gave me that name was summoned to appear before the magistrate and interrogated as to the reason why this came about!
Under rather exhaustive cross examination the following statement was forthcoming from the accused: It is poo as in puddy with the affectionate ...pee (contracted to py) suffix as a term of endearment! So it's nothing to do with ..... err ..... you know ..... doodoo or peepee!
In fact I am given to understand that it is the shortened form of nincompoop. See below for definition.

Nice selfie!

Mommy calls us poopy, too! Love the selfie.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Dad calls me stinky at times,love you selfie though,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteOh that's okay, Austin. You should hear some of the nicknames the mom has for us! On second thought, nope...we don't want those made public! Nice selfie, by the way. :)
ReplyDeleteI think she weaseled her way out of trouble,, there, with the magistrate. Whatever she says, I do not think you ought to accept a name that is a short form of nincompoop.
ReplyDeleteMahvelous selfie!
Well Austin, glad yous got dat all cleared up. Weez still not so sure 'bout it, but hey, we can't contwol what udders call us. Weez very lucky and mommy calls us mostly weally enduwin' fings like angels, hunny, sugaw bear, and da likes. Hav a blest Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'

I am glad she explained why she calls you Poopy, but I don't think I would want to be referred to as a nincompoop either. She is not off the hook yet.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Flynn and what but about Winnie The Poo? Maybe there is something missing in the American vernacular? Anyhoo, you look like a proper gentleman cat today.
ReplyDeleteWe were glad to read the explanations about your nickname ! Nice selfie ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteLOL and you should hear my nicknames and they are so not nice. Have a serene and easy Sunday sweet dudes.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Aw well, everyone seems to have some sort of silly nickname ;)
ReplyDeleteNice selfie , Austin !
ReplyDeleteAnd I´m glad to read the explanations about your nickname :)
XOXO

Great photo. I heard there’s a new French parfum called Pupí that is pronounced like Poopy and smells like poos. I may not have the accents right on the spelling as I am not myself French.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...do we dare trust her? Well, it is a nice nickname the way she explained it if she's telling the truth. Nevertheless, you did a great selfie!
ReplyDeleteThat's the nicest definition of nincompoop we've ever heard!
Poopy sounds a lot better now that you've explained it!
ReplyDeleteThe Florida Furkids
Well that is better than being called sh** heels. Pat is so rude, I never get crap on my heels.
ReplyDeleteWell, dat are one creative definishun of nincompoop, MOL!
ReplyDeleteI think we bought that explaination pal,
ReplyDeleteSweet, handsome Austin you have Mumsy laughing out loud. She has been called a nincompoop...tee, hee. Your definition fits her well because she is rude to me and moves me off the counter and table a lot when I am trying to get her attention and put my tail in her face...that is not rude for me to do that so she is the nincompoop, not me right? Hugs and nose kisses Pooh
ReplyDeleteCute selfie! Love the explanation behind your nickname :)
ReplyDeleteGreat selfie!
ReplyDeleteFirst we must say that we think your B&W selfie shows off your handsomeness. As always you gave us a good chuckle with your definitions. We think your typist's explanation of poopy was a bit convoluted. Our Mom has no such explanation for Turd Bucket for Mau, except that he is a pain in the backside. Thanks for being part of our blog hop. We really appreciate it so much. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteAustin! Mes thinks yous is furry handsome, but taking the staff's explanation for the name Poopy, well, if yous believes that...mes has some great beach front property yous might be interested in purchasing....

Very nice selfie
ReplyDeleteDude, I had to do a double take when I saw your selfie! I thought it was me!! --Sampson
ReplyDeleteP.S. We aren't sure if we are buying the whole poopy thing, Austin. Not sure if you should either! Perhaps NUCAT should get involved here...
Mom gets annoyed with dad whenever he uses "potty" terms of endearment. I'm glad your poopy nickname is one derived from good natured affection.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful selfie!
ReplyDeletePurrs xx
Athena and Marie
No, no, that nickname MUST stop!
ReplyDeleteNice monochrome moment Austin......as for your explanation of the "Poopy" moniker, I'm not so sure that would make me feel better to know that it was purrrrhaps short for nincompoop. Although THAT is preferable to the doodoo/peepee reference. I'm thinking that you might not HEAR that particular term of endearment as much as you did before now that your human has been called to answer for that one.........know what I mean?
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Great selfie Austin - btw we are relieved that Poopy is a term of endearment for you - we'd hate it if it was one for us!!
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Austin we are glad that is all cleared up!
ReplyDeleteGreat Selfie!
A literate and rude, gluey kitty? *scratching head* MOL!!
ReplyDeleteUm, that was from Faraday...
DeleteLove your monochrome selfie - good save :)

ReplyDeleteyeah...right.
ReplyDeleteWe believe you.
*snicker*
I'm thinking it probably wouldn't go over too well if Glogirly called Gloman *Poopy.*
ReplyDelete; )
That's a lovely photo, Austin.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm not sure I'd believe them about the explanation for the nickname - I'd work on getting that changed!
