Duchesne f., Grand compliment :* qu'il aille à Charenton, et hut. Martainville, Une Demi-heure de cabaret, 1804 :* Sais-tu la musique ? eh bien ut.

Par abréviation l'on se contenta ensuite du mot ut. Gattel, 1797 * From an older word, zot, which is found in diablezot * It may be purely onomatopoeic, as pft, pfuit; see zou
