As you say, she definitely meant the other word and not "poo" itself. I am aware of that. I think if you reread what I wrote with that understanding, you'll understand what I wrote better. I'm equating euphemisms like "poo" with usage of their synonyms as being the same thing. We just hide behind euphemisms as if they are somehow better than their synonyms when their meanings are identical - even if their usage is not. I am always amused even at how dropping the second "p" from "poop," another synonym, somehow makes that better.

I imagine age does have something to do with it. Along with other cultural factors.
