super pooper=super dooper (?)

[GeneD]

There is an expression in Russian ("super pooper" ("супер пупер")) which I always considered as borrowed from English but now I'm not so sure. The thing is, it sounds pretty obscene when I'm thinking about it in English, but in Russian it hasn't got such connotations. Interestingly, trying to find a suitable English expression I've recalled "sooper dooper". And not only does it have the same meaning , but also a similar sound, which makes me begin to believe that this is the same expression, but maybe changed a little. It reminds me of a character from a sitcom ("Mind Your Language"), an Italian student, who always said "okie-dokie" as "okie-cockie". Is "super pooper" something like this? Or do you use it as a synonym of "super dooper"?

No, we don't say super pooper in English! The correct expression is super-duper.

(However, we do have: Super Trouper and pooper scooper.)

The term "super dooper" is slang in American English for something that is highly regarded. I am unfamiliar with the other one.

Great. Now I've got Super Pooper beams are gonna blind me, but I won't feel blue going around in my head.

It's not really obscene, but the phrase 'super pooper' would probably be understood as somebody or something that either A) poops frequently, B) poops large amounts, or C) is very good at pooping. 'Poop' is of course a fairly safe way of referring to defecation.

Mind you I've never heard the expression, but in retrospect, I can think of several babies I'd apply A) and B) to. Surely B) applies to elephants and whales.

I'm also uncertain what the standard of measurement would be for C).

I'm not using "super pooper" from now on. Even in Russian. :-D

Potential epitaph for my headstone, once I've achieved this new status.

I even switched to a high-fiber diet on Tuesday to facilitate the process. I'm also mulling the possibility of chronically abusing Metamucil.

Are you aiming for A), B), or C)?

I'm still uncertain what the criteria are for C), so it seems a bit untenable.
