poot

poot for those of you who really want to know, is Pennsylvania Dutch slang for an errant weed gone to seed-especially the wind carried seeds of a Dandelion or milk weed pod. I'm sure its origin can be traced back to a similiar word in the High German of the Palatinate of 300 years ago.

"The young girl earnestly made a wish, then sent the poots adrift with the force of one breath."
