According to folklore, there was a position in Her Majesty's Navy called "Peg Boy." Peg-Boy's demeaning role was to be there for the pleasure of the sailors during long, lonely voyages. In order to remain, err, loose, Peg Boys were forced to sit on pegs to, err, keep loose. I imagine they were kept on a particular deck on the boat... and due to their, err, unconstricted status, I imagine they were prone to leakage. Hence, Poop Deck.

Anyone familiar woth poker or the movie "Maverick" know that it can be a game for cheaters and scoundrels. People hiding aces, hiring people around the room to signal a player what the other people around the table have in their hands; the cheating scenarios could go on forever. One of the most famous cheats is using a deck that is arranged in such a way that the dealer can actually manipulate who gets what card. When players become aware of the hyjinx, the usual exclamation is "He's dealing with a poop deck!!"

A poop deck is where the unfortunate scurvied sailors of yore spent their afternoons after consuming tasty bowls of vermin-infested gruel and warm rum. Thus, the poop deck. For an updated version, please visit the lavatory facilities of any underage/freshman bar.

A poop dick is what happens when a man inserts his wang into another man's anus. This can also be used as a slang term for a man who would like to insert his wang into another man's anus. He's a "poop dick", you could say. Wait, poopdeck? Oh, I don't know.

My favorite...poopdeck? Ah, the mere word brings back fond memories of that loveable sea-faring character. Of course, you know to whom I'm referring...Popeye's father, Poopdeck Pappy. I must say the family resemblance is remarkable, considering he is basically Popeye with a white beard. With a name like Poopdeck, one can only guess as to the tricks spinach can play on the gastro-intestinal tract. And who can forget Ray Walston's infamous portrayal of this affable maritime hero. Such style and grace is such a rare commodity in character actors these days. Unfortunately, Mr. Walston passed away January 1st of this year, so I am afraid there is no way of obtaining him, but I hear he was pretty handy.

Poopdeck is a term that came to use at the beginning of the great "urban sprawl" that has infested our fine country. Specifically, a poop deck is any redwood patio that shares a side with a lavatory. The term came to use because those lounging on the deck would regularly smell and hear any poop action occurring in the adjacent facililty.

Ships have historically been refered to in the feminine gender.The nautical term 'poop deck' refers to the ass end of a ship, as one might comment "nice pooper" when admiring an exceptionally well-shaped female ass.The poop deck should never be confused with the "bowels" of the ship, which is in a different location entirely, and is used for holding shit.

A poop deck, my friend is a term used to describe when you have a neighbor you dont care for and you sneak over there in the wee hours of the morning.
Then you deposit a FRESH steaming pile of doo doo on their deck. Ala poopdeck. It's even better if they have a pool connected to thier deck. You just jump right in and torpedo's away!!! This would be considered a pool poopdeck. Hope this helps

Come on youse guys-
They used to hang their butt over the side of the ship to poop.
If you could get there in time, it was the after deck not in the front where the ship was going.

you are all wrong so far, exept duane. I was raised in a nautical family, and the poop deck is where the officers would go to take a crap on ships. there were holes over the transom at the very back of the boat. the saliors used the side of the boat, and pooped into a small "garden" of fecies. The head was named for being at the front of a boat, it's a net. sailors used the head to piss, or to catch them if they fell while pissing!

If ye wants a good hard-rollickin' sea-farin' song about the Poopdeck... head over to here. Its song #2.

What is a poopdeck?

The poopdeck -- a partial deck above a ship's main afterdeck -- originated from the Latin word puppis, which means doll or small image. It was a custom of the Romans and their predecessors to have a sacred image or idol mounted on the stern.

To be pooped, at sea, is to have a sea break over the stern, or over the poop. Similarly, to be pooped, after a hard day's work, means that you're feeling "washed out."

Fat Bastard in Austin Powers 2 said "I got a crap on deck that could choke a donkey" and that seems like a clue to me

How could so many people make so many guesses and be so wrong? Here's the poop on the etymology of "poop deck" and the wonderous "poop" itself. "Poop" is the splash made when the bow of a ship hits the water. This splash made life for sailors wet and miserable and a deck was built in the rear of the ship for the captain to stand on so he wouldn't get soaked by the poop. When a ship would hit the waves hard, during a storm for instance, the poop could even wash sailors overboard. The French used the term "poupe" in the 1400's to mean "stern" or back of a ship because sailors had been shortening the term "poop deck" (the Latin or Italian version) to just "poop." In the 1940's, the phrase "I'm pooped" began to be used as a way to say "I'm washed up" or "I'm wet and miserable" in other words just plain worn out. In the military around that time, if you got the inside information on something you heard the splash or "got the poop." We have now modified the word "poop" to be more than just a splash. In the 1950's the splash made by feces hitting water led to the phrase "I'm going to poop." which really meant "I'm going to make a splash." And now you know the real poop about "poop."

how many women are into this? and are there any in the miami fla area? ps,,, looking for "spooning" :-)

The poopdeck is where all the seagulls shit.

Could swabbing the poopdeck be the same as cleaning the toilet? I'm a girl, and I really enjoy poop humor. I don't participate in any of the hijinks but I appreciate them.

The name originates from the Latin puppis, or the elevated stern deck.

All I know about the poopdeck is that it is a lower part of a ship. Maybe in olden times it's where the sailors would drop trou and cur a fresh one into the ocean below. I'm no expert but that's my thought on it.
