Popo is a word used in German to describe a butt

In Portuguese, the suffix "zão" is colloquially used to represent an augmentative form. "Popozão", in Brazil, means exactly what you're thinking of.

Is it pronounced poopoo?

[–] Grizzlywer@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, more like poh poh

I'd say it's more like "Poppo". The English popo for police would be "poh poh", I think.
