I would probably rename shampoo as anything else. I love buying shampoo, but Sham means fake and poo is gross. I don’t enjoy the thought that I am putting synthetic Feces in my hair to clean it. Call it anything shaldoo or shanwoo or whatever just please change shampoo it’s bothered me ever since I was a lil boy and it’s continued to be an annoyance throughout my life
I don’t wanna put any -poo on my head, I may even start referring to the word in a foreign language tbh it shouldn’t bother me this much but I hate that word

This is a legitimate concern, and now one I share. Why is it named that?!
Its a loanword from old Sanskrit. I think its fair to call it shampoo, the Indians did invent it after all.

Technically, you are already referring to it in a foreign language, its a word that the British stole after all.
Call it haarwasmiddel or zeep
Zeep
Zeep is good
I just know you guys pronounce it with the -ee of Jeep, so the thought of some people saying they wash their heads with zeep is funny to me.
Hey, we can’t all speak fluent swamp.
Je m’appelle frikandel
Zeep it is. We have a winner. (Is it pronounced Zey-ep?)
Its Dutch for Soap, pronounced like “Ape”
With the -ay as in say. So zayp
Somehow zeep (pronounced zayp) is even better than zeep (pronounced zeep – you were right, my mind went straight to jeep with a z).
