pew, pugh

Pew or pew means a bench, usually attached to the floor, that forms the seat in a church--
Keep going until you see an empty pew.
Seat the members of the wedding party in the front pew.

Pugh or pugh ( rhymes with pew ) is an expression of disgust, most commonly used to exclaim that something is foul-smelling--
Pugh! This is spoiled; throw it away.
Who left these dirty socks here? Pugh!

Now that you know that, you can say--
"Pugh! The baby in the pew behind us needs to have his diaper changed."

Note--"pew" may also be used to imitate the sound made by some video or computer games--
"Pew pew pew! My guy got them all!"
