Sacka-poo-poo – Japanese?

Q: Hey, I think this website it great! I love the Japanese race! I think they are beautiful. Now, a friend told me that the Japanese call nappies/diapers “sack-a-poo-poo” (pronunciation) – is this true? or was she messing around? – Alice

A:  Yes, it’s 100% true!  Nappies/diapers are called サカプープー ”sack a poo poo” in Japanese!!!

P.S.  Then again you might want to check the Japanese date of this email…. I think I might have also heard them called オムツ (omutstu!)  in Japan ; )

P.P.S. Try asking a Japanese speaker if they know the kanji forオムツ, it’s one of those really tough ones お襁褓 ! :  )

Happy holiday!
