Dampers

Dampers as a slip for diapers is an easy blend of diaper, damp, damper, and Pampers.

Don’t mind Mr Liar. An old who doesn’t respect his age he thought we wear dampers like kids he can feed lies and we will believe maybe his fans but not me. Baba go slow

Re: Dampers

A surprising and curious eggcorn. Common enough to make me think that this is more than a WTF slip.


Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
