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?!
Old Spice Fakeshit 6-In-One
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.
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).
