This show is named after the word "diblings", a portmanteau of the phrase "donor sibling". As a lovemanteau (a lover of portmanteau), I adore this word, and my donor siblings and I use it regularly to describe our relationships. But not everyone likes it, and some people hate it outright.

The compilation of opinions on the word "dibling" referenced in the episode can be found on the DSR blog: https://www.donorsiblingregistry.com/blog/dibling-dumpling/
