But then there are pool decks, which are concrete at ground level too.
It gets a bit confusing.

Not to mention decks on ships. And the poop deck.

Is poop not American English for ****?


Yes, but is is also the name of the highest deck on a ship. Goes back
to the old sailing ships.

I was curious about the why of it.

I did think it would be the worst possible place to poop from.

Just go over the back rail. Then it is only tough on the water skier.
That is why they call the rear of that deck the "fan tail". It was the
first bathroom fan.
