Just my theory that "poyo" actually originates from "beriyo-iyo", a Minang corruption of "beriya-iya" (enthusiastic). Since many of the jokes introduced in 'Ujang' were uttered in Minang accent, hence, the usage of 'poyo' became widespread. This is reinforced by the fact that I'm half Minang. Hehe!
Saya tidak fikir ada asal-usul lain bagi perkataan 'poyo'.
I can not think of any other origin for the word 'poyo'.
