    Here's what I found. 1. The French term "peur" which means "to stink" thus P.U. is a shortened expression to say that you stink. 2. It's actually spelled "pew," but is often pronounced as "pee-yew". It's root is the Indo-European word "pu," meaning to rot or decay. We mustn't forget the Warner Bros. character PePe' LePew.
