  1. p**p Deck: The aft-most, raised weather deck on a ship. The name came from the Middle English poupe, from the Latin puppim, meaning the rear section of a ship The word derived from the Latin Puppis, meaning a doll or small image, The Romans and other ancient seafaring peoples had a small sacred idol or image affixed to the stern, where the deity it represented could watch over the vessel. To be pooped incidentally, meant to have a wave break over the ship's stern.


  2. no

  3. No (lol)

    Heres what it really means:

    In naval architecture (boats), a p**p deck is a deck that constitutes the roof of a cabin built in the rear part of the superstructure of a ship. The name originates from the French word "la poupe" for stern (and that was probably derived from a latin word), so the p**p deck is the stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern. In sailing ships, with the helmsman at the stern, an elevated position was used for both navigation and observation of the crew and sails.
