Dooper

I worked in an office in the WTC; my co-worker, an Irish lady who lived in the Bronx, would say when the need arose, ” Go scratch your dooper.”

    Probably a corruption of the Polish word “dupa” which means, well, the part of you anatomy, (posterior) which you scratch. Your buttocks.

    So that Irish lady had a Polish or Ukrainian friend.

    Could also be related to “pooper” which is slang for that part of your body used for pooping.
