Talk:Grand Poobah

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I recall some mention somewhere of "poobah" being a derivative of the pbuh (peace be upon him) used for revered muslims. Can anyone verify this? --jskrzypek@gmail.com

there's also grand puba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Puba -delnahuelhuapi

[edit] Sim City 2000

i think in Sim City 2000 in the news paper they mention the grand poobah (stuff like : Grand Poobah Trapped), should a reference be made to this in the artical (if you need a cite I'll take a wiz round the net for one). --Lwarf 02:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure why not, I think I remember there being some sort of a pun on the term grand poobah on Sesame Street, how about I add that? --Dans1120 17:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Flintstones

How could the term "Grand Poobah" have been introduced by The Flintstones when it had already existed for the greater part of a century? --Dans1120 17:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

"Poo-Bah" was the name of a character. "Grand Poobah" is a title. Do you have a cite for the title being used prior to the Flintstones?  Randall Bart   Talk  20:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
