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.

Got it. I stand corrected.

And I am so glad I didn't know that.


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.

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

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.

Same here. I don't know anybody named Big Daddy lol. (I'm from Georgia which is about as Southern as it gets.)


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

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