i think in Sim City 2000 in the news paper they mention the grand poobah (stuff like : Grand Poobah Trapped), should a reference be made to this in the artical (if you need a cite I'll take a wiz round the net for one). -- Lwarf 02:01, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Sure why not, I think I remember there being some sort of a pun on the term grand poobah on Sesame Street, how about I add that? -- Dans1120 17:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
How could the term "Grand Poobah" have been introduced by The Flintstones when it had already existed for the greater part of a century? -- Dans1120 17:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Re: "Also used to refer to Kanes Fist of the 55's"
"Grog Strongjaw was given the title of "Grand Poobah de Doink of All of This and That" in Critical Role, a popular D&D web series, by Lord Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III of Whitestone. The title comes with no land and no money. According to Percy, a Grand Poobah can be referred to as "Hey you, over there," "Hey you guy," "Old Bean," or "Sweet Chestnut." Grog would often reference his title in the show despite it not actually giving him any legal power anywhere." I was told this needed significance but I gave just as much significance as other people did for other entries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Whix100 ( talk • contribs) 16:46, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
This has already been transwikied to Wiktionary. I think it can be defined but it's not an encyclopedic topic. Mglovesfun ( talk) 12:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Remarkably, seven years after this point was legitimately raised, when the content was virtually identical to the current version, we've got editors claiming that the lack of activity above is some sort of consensus. So this will be dematerialising shortly unless Ssilvers ( talk · contribs), who seems so keen on its continued existence, puts in the work to flesh out why one of ten million random turns of phrase in the English language is actually something more substantial.

There was mathcounts question involving the grand pooh bah, and how many ways to seat people in a certain way.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.204.66.22 ( talk) 21:12, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
