"Cradle robber" "Cradle robbing" for the older person.

In the U.S., we use "boytoy." Apparently, the opposite of the U.K.

I just heard this one today. The significantly older person is a "diaper sniper."

Very interesting!
Does it mean?
The older person snipes at the younger person (opposite ***).
The younger person is referred to as a diaper, because her/his
fate is to change diapers. How about 'diaper changer' for the
younger person?

It's a new one on me but I think you are misinterpreting it. The younger person is being joked about that they are so young they are still in diapers and a sniper is someone who targets another individual. So it means that the older person targets someone young. (similar to cradle snatcher).

Oh, I see. That's more interesting and makes much more sense
than my assumption. Thank you very much.
