We all have words we dislike and sometime hate. It may be Kim Kardashians use of the word 'literally' (she has died so many times even Jesus is amazed) or you could be apart of the grammar police and turn blue in the face with the miss use of your & you're, or there, their & they're.
There aren't many words that bug me, but upon become a parent I have discovered a new one for the list – POONAMI.
I discovered this word in an online mothers forum and it instantly reminded me of another piece of slang made famous by none other than Ali G. In our household we use the word poopsplosion to describe a nappy that overflows with poo, as it is like it has exploded with poo.
It doesn't matter wether you use the word 'poonami' or 'poopsplosion', but after this blog you may rethink which word you choose to use.
Naturally I needed to find out if there was an actual definition of the words, and thanks to Urban Dictionary there is (although they seem to have a definition for everything).
The top definition is...

POOPSPLOSION
When poop explodes from your ass like a nuke on Hiroshima.
1. "Dude, did you just nuke that bathroom?!"
"Yep. I made a poopsplosion."
2. "If we don't pull over to the nearest rest stop in the next two minutes.. Oh god.. I'm gonna have the poopsplosion of the century. Jesus, I'm sorry for eating all them bean burritos last night.."

or according to the second top definition of this word...
When your kid has a diaper malfunction!
Oh, crap, gotta go, Conor is having a poopsplosion.
Oh snap, it spread to the inside of the baby carrier. Great, it is on my shirt. Awesome... it smells.

Poopsplosion perfectly describes those smelly bombs that come out of your cute we thing & half way up their back. This is probably the meaning you believe the word 'poonami' holds; but you would be wrong.
POONAMI
(noun, verb) Accidental, explosive diarrhea; usually associated with children, traveling, or food poisoning.
"Dude, while I was baby-sitting your kid, he had a poonami in his pajamas. I had to stick him, fully clothed, in the shower."

or
NOUN
1. an unusually large wave or splash produced in a toilet bowl by a large or well-placed excrement (poo).
2. an exceptionally large, oderiferous or much-anticipated bowel movement.
Origin:
2011-2012; < Brinston, Ontario, Canada. Based on Japanese word "tsunami", equivalent to tsu harbor (earlier tu ) + nami wave < poo (poo) + nami (wave).
1. (splash) "Whoa... poonami!"
2. "Poonami alert - do NOT go in there!"

So it would seem that poonami would be more suitable for that moment when you are sharing a bath with your sweet tiny person and they send you flying from the tub screeching to whoever can hear (normally your partner in the other room who is having a good laugh), that they have pooped.
So what has a babies poopy nappy got to do with Sacha Baron Cohen's fictional character, Ali G?
Well if you ever saw “Da Ali G Show” or “Ali G Indahouse” you are probably aware of the word 'punani' and that is possibly all I need to say for you to make the connection of why I prefer to use the word poopsplosion.
However if you are not of the Ali G watching generation or if you just don't remember the use of this word...
POONANI
Function: noun
Plural Form: punani
Etymology: Mod. Hawaiian punani (lit. heavenly flower) from Old Hawaiian pua (blossom); nani (glory, splendor, heavenly)
1: female genitals
2: sexually receptive female
3: sexual intercourse
1. Her punani was the tightest that I had ever fucked.
2. There were tons of punani hanging around the club last night.
3. I haven't had punani for almost three months.

“But I'm saying 'poonami' not punani”. I know, but they sound pretty darn similar don't they. Hense my cringe every time I hear or see it used and why I prefer poopslosion.
ps. It doesn't actually matter which of these words you use, but just know using either of these words (poopslosion or poonami) does not make you cool, it just signifies to everybody that you're a parent.
