Noun
editpoppen
German
editPronunciation
editEtymology 1
editRegionally attested in the sense “to knock or beat rapidly”, which is probably onomatopoeic. The vulgar sense spread in the 20th century from dialects including Central Franconian, perhaps via film and broadcasting companies based in Cologne. In the latter, the word is sometimes secondarily associated with Popp, cognate and synonym of standard Puppe (“doll”); compare etymology 2. Related with southern Dutch poepen.
