I understand it is also used by Muslims, but what does it mean? It sounds so much like a fake swear word we used as a child -- poobah -- that it has me laughing, but what does it really stand for?

PBUH (Peace Be Upon/Unto Him) is used when mentioning any and all the Prophets of God.
Adam, Nuh (Noah), Yunus (Jonah), Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismail (Ishmael), Ishaq (Issac), Ya3coub (Jacob), Yusuf (Joseph), Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus), Dawood (David), Sulayman (Solomon), Muhammad...and others...
Peace Be Upon Them all.

This is what Muslims are requred to say with the mention of a messenger. Peace Be Upon Him is what it stands for.
If you want you can use it after the name of any honorary person in Humanity.
Jesus Peace be Upon him
Moses Peace be upon him
It was started by Muslims but don't you think the whole non muslims can adopt such a nice thing to say..

It is a Muslem custom. PBUH means Peace Be Upon Him. It is used when referring to any of the Prophets. Jesus is considered a Prophet of Islam

Peace be unto him or something like that.
It's actually quite nice and respectful, I think.

Jesus also says Peace Unto Thee ---PUT.
If one comes into your presence without salvation you are not to wish them God's speed.----peace unto thee
or peace be unto him.
why would I ask God when he has said NO>
2 John 1:10
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:

Because "violence be upon Him" would be politically incorrect. They can do violence upon His followers all day long, but not Him.
Christians don't use pbuh. Only Muslims and their apologists.
