C. it's called the poop deck because old galleons and frigates had a big "net" of wood out in the front, where people went when they had to take a shit, and because it was on the upper deck. they didn't have a sanitation system on the old ships, and they wouldn't store the poop. that's why. :) thumps up so people will get the answer, that the stupid, but good looking host didn't give them :b

@t3chno0locker Your explanation is completely false. If you were just kidding, it wasn't apparent.

[t3chno0locker]

@tml4873 explain?

[tml4873]

@Eetaq Have you heard of google? "The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin""
