X-ray: In the matter of- "The term po faced means something like poker faced. Is this the etymology?" The British term, "po-faced," is defined by various sources as: 1) having an assumed solemn, serious, or earnest expression or manner: piously or hypocritically solemn 2) woodenly expressionless or "deadpan" The presumed etymology is decidedly inelegant, albeit obscure. According to some, the term "po-faced," dating from 1934, may derive from "po chamber pot," which itself is said to descend from the French "pot pot" or toilet.
