What is Daddy? Daddy Meaning Explained
a flirtatious way to refer to someone confident, dominant, or attractive — typically in a romantic or spicy context
Daddy is the flirty cousin of Zaddy — less fashion-forward, more vibe-forward. It’s equal parts compliment and dysfunction, depending on delivery 😏
“Daddy” became popularized through Tumblr, stan Twitter, and fandom culture in the 2010s — often to describe hot, dominant characters or celebs. Gen Z took it and made it meme-y, spicy, and unserious. Now it’s used to roast, flirt, or just vibe-check someone who’s *doing the most* in a hot way.
