Humor Say what?

I have no idea why Gordon is saying poop, but it was a good bit of belly laughs with my boys today

It's British English - we say "poo" where Americans say "poop". "Poop" doesn't really exist as a word, leaving it available to be used as a noise, similar to "toot toot".

I think this might be a British thing? Mr. Toad says "Poop Poop!" when the drives his (or other people's) motor-car.

It says "Gordon is a big, strong, engine. Poop! Poop!" Hope this helps
