I was wondering where the term P.U. came from and what does P.U. stand for when talking about an odor?
Pardon my spelling, but I think it might be onomatopoaic. Or maybe we're just trained to make that sound (peeyou) when we want to remark on a foul odor.
Well, I did indicate I was unsure of the spelling.

It may be a heavily intonated 'phew'.
