In addition to my first reply about "I got dibs," here is some more information. Adults also say "I got dibs," even though it is based on a children's game. Again, it means "I want..." or "I am claiming the right to have..." something. Imagine that two adult female friends go out to a club to go dancing. At the end of the bar, the two friends see three men standing together. They do not know the men. One of the men is very attractive. He has blond hair and a tight shirt. One of the woman may say to her friend "I got dibs on the blond." This means "I like the blond man. I am going to try to flirt with him, and I want you to agree with me now that you will not also try to flirt with him." You will also hear this phrase said in different ways: "I call dibs on the recliner!" (I want to sit in the reclining chair, because it is the most comfortable and everyone knows it.) "Dibs on the remote!" (I want the right to hold the remote control to the television so that I am the one who chooses what we will watch.)

1. I got dibs - a slang saying meaning you have booked something. Often people will say "dibs" to reserve a seat, an item of food or a position in a game. It is very informal. 2. Way to work that diaper - this sounds like an insult. What was the context of the saying? You could replace diaper with another item of clothing, like a dress. "Way to work that dress" would compliment someone on the nice way they wear a dress. I love the movie Zootopia, by the way. :)

Dibs is a fun word, it's very colloquial. You may also hear 'dibsies' (or in the UK we sometimes say 'bagsies!') If you call dibs, it means that you are requesting that you have the thing first. For example, my mum brings out a box of chocolates. "I call dibs!" in this case, means I get first pick of the chocolates.

The idiom "to work [something]" means to wear it and show it off as if you are an attractive model. "Way to..." means "good job!" (But this can be used sarcastically also to mean that you are doing something wrong or stupid.) "Way to work that diaper!" means "You are doing a good job wearing the diaper and making it look like fancy clothes a model would wear." If someone just says "Work it!" they mean that they think someone is acting like a model or a diva. It can also mean that they see someone being confident and want to encourage that person to continue to be confident, or that they like what the other person is wearing and think it looks nice. Imagine that two friends go to a clothing store. One of them picks up a jacket and tries it on. The other friend might say "Work that jacket!" or "Work it!" This means that either the person who is trying the jacket looks confident and proud wearing it, or that the person who said "Work it!" thinks it makes the other person look attractive. Now imagine that it is 8:00 in the morning. A young woman (let's name her Liz) arrives at her friend's house (let's name the friend Paula). Liz knocks on Paula's door. After knocking some more, Paula finally comes to the door. It is clear that Paula was still sleeping. Paula's hair is a mess and she is wearing a bathrobe. Liz might look at her and say, "OK, girl, work it!" This would be intended to make Paula laugh, because it does not fit the situation. Liz is joking, as if Paula makes messy hair and a bathrobe look like a model in fancy clothes, which is probably not true. Liz hopes that Paula will laugh.

"I got dibs." "I got..." is a slang form of "I have..." There is an old "game" that children play where the rule is that if you say "I call ________" before anyone else says it or takes it or uses it, you have the right to have that thing even before it is time. Imagine that a mother has four children, ages 7 - 12. She calls out, "Kids, we're going to grandma's house. Get in the car." All of the kids start running out the door toward the car. The youngest child shouts "I call the front seat!" If everyone plays by the "rules," then the youngest child is allowed to sit in the front seat. Friends are more likely to follow the rule than siblings. "I got dibs" means the same thing as "I call..." in this game. So "I got dibs on the top bunk" means "I am calling for the rights to sleep in the top bed of the bunk beds." If a pizza is ordered with half cheese only and half pepperoni, someone might say "I got dibs on the pepperoni." This means they want first rights to have a slice of the pepperoni part of the pizza and not the cheese-only half.
