poopooing
Scoffing at suggestions
Poopooing is the act of dismissing or disparaging something, treating it as unworthy of serious consideration.
If someone poopooes your idea, they wave it off as foolish or unimportant.
Management kept poopooing our safety concerns until the accident happened.
The term carries a tone of casual contempt, suggesting the dismissal is reflexive rather than reasoned.
