Does anyone else think Diaper is a funny word ?

[Flaresnare]

I mean, when you think about it, it just sounds a tiny, little bit funny no ?  " Diaper  ">DYEPUR  " he he he, makes me chuckle a bit. heh heh, * ahem *  but seriously Though, It was just one of those moments to me where you think of word until it sounds sillier and sillier  ?

I only found it funny once, I was watching Little House On The Prairie and Mrs Olsen said it exactly how you spelt it "DY-E-PUR" and I find that very amusing. So I guess it depends on how it's said, but yes I think it can be a funny word.

I agree with @kasarberang it's only funny when pronounced with three syllables, "die-eh-pur."

 

The most ridiculous I remember hearing it was in an episode of You Can't Do That On Television. Diapers was almost three words.

Not as funny as the word "Nappy" for the same garment and it's use!

Yes, I always found it, amusing? Especially, liked mentioned above, when it is pronounced that way. Rubber Pants, doesn’t really sound funny, but for me, when I was young, it was, and fascinating! But, I guess if you pronounce it like a child, “Wubber Pants” it could sound funny?

My grandmother always called diapers, (die-dees), she was born in the late 1800's it could be from that era.

Ran across this page of funny words for diapers some are pretty dam funny.

Heh heh, Yeah, I'd probably say that is when it's most funny with that way  of when it it gets pronounced at times, something about how one may draw out the pronunciation of the syllables a bit comes off as very amusing. Or when one might uses an over the top babyish voice when saying it as well, "  do you need your" Dy-i-p-a, "  changed ? "

I love the word diaper, especially when you say it when you're little. It sounds so babyish, it's perfect.?♥️??? It always makes me giggle!?

Just that when searching for "nappy" you might get something completely different 

I always sweat a little extra when "bleie" is mentioned (Norwegian word for diaper)
I never ask my sister if her kids has stopped wearing and I never mention the word in any situation unless someone else mentions it first. 

Diaper is just a word for me, as we don't speak English..
