I was once in a band called 'The Madd Grumpies' because one of my friend's words for poo-poo was 'grumpy'. I wonder if this is from the same branch of that vocabulary tree.
actaully its like a cute way of saying shit in spanish, at least thats what i remember growing up when i was a wee dork and mom and grandma would fawn over my shit like it was the second coming of cute.
