Tamil Poo

In learning languages there are always odd words that you will associate with something so that you will never forget the word. “Poo” is one of those words for obvious reasons. Who would ever forget the meaning of a word like poo – especially when it means “flower.” I love to wear jasmine flowers in my hair each day. It is a popular practice among the women here as they are strung together like flowers in a Hawaiian “lay.” Needless to say, my phrase of the day will frequently be – “I’ve got a bunch of poo in my hair!”
