She apparently won a toy platypus at a fairground and called it that.

Plata-ma-pus is not a real word. The correct word is Platypus, which is an Australian animal which has the fur of a beaver and the bill of a duck. Jessica Simpson is not an intellectual type

"Plata-ma-pus" is a cute play on the word "platypus", which is the name of an animal. I think the second answerer might have the right explanation for the reason she has a t-shirt of this word.

It isn't a real word, in any language. It's making fun of the word 'platypus' (animal from Australia).
