Who's your daddy? - Wordsmith.org

What does this mean?

I believe it comes from requesting acknowledgment of who owns you or who's your master.

Common phrase - not wishing to be indelicate, it comes up a lot in b-grade sex talk

I would only know of this out of professional interest, of course.

I think L has got it right.

perhaps from sugardaddy?

I remember it best from "Stripes" with Bill Murray...

...acknowledgment of who owns you or who's your master.

Also, of who will 'take care of' your needs.

...b-grade sex talk.

That must make this thread c-grade?!?!

AnnaS - what made you ask?

[angel] Here's the deal. I was listening to an oldies station today and they were playing the song "Night of the Season of Love." (this would be from way before your time).
Help me out here, musick: one of the lines is "What's your name? Who's your daddy?" That was, like 35 years ago. And I've heard the expression since. That's all. [/angel]

I wont tell you about the real reason, RM, we've hardly met *EG*

> b-grade sex talk

and then there's that hilarious 'Donald *uck' sequence in an interview by Robin Williams!

What's your name? Who's your Daddy?"

Also from the Zombies' Time for the Season (1966, I believe):

>What's your name?
(What's your name?)
Who's your daddy?
(Who's your daddy? He rich?)
Is he rich like me?<

The Washington Post sez it started out being very naughty and then evolved into a sort-of not-nice expression which is now sufficiently sanitized to be used in polite society.

It came out in Pogo once as:

What's your name?

Who's your daddy?

How come you're not in school?

Then, there's the Star Wars version:

That's what I was trying to remember.

Soixante neuf, according to the padre's WP article.

Soixante neuf

Language, Mav, language!

True. :) But pretty well-scrubbed.

How young/old do you think I am - I remember the song quite well and am old enough to fret over its being an 'oldie'...

Save the 'other' for when you know me better!

Juans more with feeling

Juan more time!

Any father in Indiana is a Hoosier daddy.

Do you think the Zombies were saying Who's your Daddy in that b-movie way? I had always assumed they meant it literally. Like, "hey girl, I can take of you" type of way.

What's your name?
(What's your name?)
Who's your daddy?
(Who's your daddy? He rich?)
Is he rich like me?

Has he taken
(Has he taken)
Any time
(Any time to show)
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what?
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
