That's the difference between German 'u' and North American 'u', which is more like the UK 'o'. In Yiddish "Putzn" as a verb, sounding like "he puts it down", means to polish. The vulgar word for "penis", I would transliterate as "potz", pronounced as in "pots and pans" in the UK or Oz, but in the USA it would be pronounced as in "he putts on the green".
