Hi Richard
The term Popo comes from the German language and describes in an endearing way the backside of a human being.
Rolf,
Thanks for that information! I will have another look and see whether or not there is any German background to the location of the image.

The specific line was in a fairly popular song in 1952, called “Feet Up”. Apparently it was written in reference to a new baby boy. I remember the line being sung when playing with babies when I was growing up in the 60s:
Feet up, pat him (her) on the po-po
Let’s hear him (her) laugh
Warmhand,
That is interesting to hear, I always like to research the origins of different things and this post taught me something new, aided of course by your anecdote.
