- "That's a load of poodoo, counselor!"
[putting her hands over Allana's ears] "Han!" - ―Han Solo to Lestra Oxic, which Princess Leia tries to keep her granddaughter Allana from hearing
Poodoo (Huttese for "foodder")[2] was a swear word.[3] It could also be used as a term for nonsense,[1] or someone[4] or something that a person disliked.[5] The term "no poodoo" was used as an expression of surprise,[6] while "go to poodoo" meant to go awry.[7][8] "Cut the poodoo" was a term used to ask someone to get to the point.[9] "In the poodoo" was a term for being in a lot of trouble,[10] while "in humpty deep poodoo" was an Ugnaught term for the same thing.[11] "Full of poodoo" meant that a person was lying,[12] while "a load of poodoo" referred to something that was not true.[13] "Eat poodoo" was an expression of contempt toward another party,[14] while "drag someone's name into the poodoo pit" referred to damaging someone's reputation.[15]
Behind the scenes[]
- "When they got me to say. "Poodoo," I burst out laughing. I said, "Poodoo? What does that mean?" and George said, "Well you can't say the real-world word." Which is a shame!"
- ―Lewis MacLeod, the voice of Sebulba in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
A common misconception is that "poodoo" refers to feces,[17] even though the word is actually Huttese for "fodder."[2] Despite this, the use of the term is similar to the real-world impolite word "shit."
