without the poop deck theory......

    Russ,
   
  It's from Latin..   " Puppis"  means  .....  STERN
  It refers to a short afterdeck usually above the Quarterdeck.
   
  The Verb "Poop" means that water breaks over the stern or quarterdeck
   
  It has NOTHING to do with Sanitary needs.. LOL
   
  Ralph

Ralph,  I think we would all like to hear a detailed account of how the term 
"Poop Deck" came to be.  Was it really a sanitary necessity on old sailing 
ships or is it another Brass Monkey?????
