| Not a southerner, but lived in the South for 17 years - never heard this used in real life. |

Got it. I stand corrected. And I am so glad I didn't know that. |

Another girl from an old Southern family, and I know of no one going by Big Daddy.

| Southerner here, my sisters both married into Louisiana families. Only one uses that term. They are old rich money. I almost throw up a little every time I hear it. |

| I have never in my life heard this where I grew up in rural southern Virginia. Everyone is "Papa" there. |

If you never watched the Golden Girls you have no idea what you are missing. |

Grew up in NC, also lived in southern Alabama, never heard that used either. It may be regional?
I did have one friend who called her father deeddy (you have to get it right with the accent) and have heard that every once in while. |

| My colleague refers to her DH as "Big Daddy" which I find to be kinda odd. They're not Southern, not even close... they're from Wisconsin. |
