Spell ICUP!

ICUP or Spell ICUP is a made you say it joke and prank that involves making someone accidentally say that they have watched someone peeing.

Spell ICUP involves a person telling another person to spell the word “ICUP”. They say “I, C, U, P” but it sounds like “I see you pee”. It is similar to the Spell Pig Backwards pee jokes. The trick is now pretty much well-known, so not a lot of people fall for it anymore. When someone is telling an ICUP joke, they don’t necessarily say “spell ICUP”, it can be “How do you spell the word “ICUP”?”.

The word ICUP, itself, is not a word. It is pronounced “I-cup”. There was a prank going around that Apple had made a new product that was a l phone crossed with a cup, called an iCup. It was obviously a joke, due to the “spell ICUP” trick. Spell ICUP is usually a playground joke, told by kids to other kids. It originated by a kid texting his friends, trying to come up with a new texting phrase like how people use U to replace “you” and R for “are”, came up with ICUP, and it became a popular joke.

A way to not say “I see you pee” when someone pulls an ICUP trick on you, is to spell it “E-Y-E-C-U-P” as ICUP and eyecup sound the same. A kid actually was smart and did this. An eyecup actually is a thing. An eyecup is a cup around a camera for your eye.

Other versions include:

Say lettuce and spell cup = let us see you pee

Spell IHOP = I ate your pee (IHOP is a pancake place)

Say I, spell map, and say face = I am a peeface

Other ICUP jokes include:

Spell ICUP and say in your pants

Spell ICUP and say in the car

Spell ICUP and say in the pool

etc.
