There's a family term "doppus" that's used for when someone is eating and messes up their shirt/blouse. It's not used in a mean way, but it's not used in any other situation. I've been told it's likely Low German of some sort (considering my family is all West German of some sort - Alsatian, Dutch, Wesphalian) but I'm not sure if it means anything in more common usage.

Any thoughts on this?
