Description: Pshaw (also spelled pshaw!) is an old-fashioned interjection used to express: Disbelief – "Pshaw! That can't be true." Dismissal – "Pshaw! Don't worry about it." Impatience or mild annoyance – "Pshaw! What nonsense." It's similar in meaning to: Bah! Nonsense! Oh, come on! Rubbish! As if! The word became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries and often appears in classic literature, especially in works by authors like Charles Dickens and Arthur Conan Doyle. Today it's uncommon in everyday speech and is mostly used for a humorous, theatrical, or vintage effect.
