pshaw. Used since the 16th century and called “a natural ex- pression of rejection” by the O.E.D., this exclamation of impa- tience or contempt is usually pronounced shaw, though I often heard it spoken as shah when people still employed it. Oscar Wilde once asked George Bernard Shaw what title he’d give to a magazine he proposed starting. “I’d want to impress my own personality on the public,” Shaw replied, banging his fist on the table. “I’d call it Shaw’s Magazine: Shaw-Shaw-Shaw!” “Yes,” Wilde said, “and how would you spell it?”
