River Walk, San Antonio, TX
I went to a conference last week in San Antonio. The convention center was just a block away from the River Walk, which is the San Antonio River that wends through downtown in a beautiful environment of shops and restaurants. It's near the Alamo in old San Antonio. I spent much of my down time there wandering along the water. The weather was spring-like and balmy, so that most shucked their jackets and held their faces to the warm sunshine. One of my favorite places to sit was at a place called Hear Music which is also a Starbucks. It boasted a patio two stories above the walk, which afforded me a perfect view of a restaurant below, called DICKS.
Now, at DICKS, you have to be prepared to have a good time and appear ridiculous, or you might as well just move along. Luckily, the good time is usually at someone else's expense, since many who sit down are presented with and required to wear a giant condom made of paper. These are towering white constructions with a twisted end, that cause just about everyone passing to turn and look again. Laughing, snickering are common, because not only do you have to wear a giant paper condom on your head while you eat, but the condom hats have sayings written in heavy marker like "Beer Makes Me Poot!"
Now I ask you...what is that? Poot? Is this a new word? And similarly what about this other word
Woot?
I see the word Woot and immediately my new word Poot comes to mind. Are they related?
What if you get them mixed up?

I'd never heard of 'poot' until I read the word in Terry Pratchett's Maskerade where it's implied that it's a ladylike swearword (close to 'botheration')
