However, as we get older, we come up with wittier and probably more annoying names for this lovable guy ….
Ready to go to the baseball game? He was the king of the jungle in The Lion King. Sarge: Does your dad hold a military rank? Or, does he run the house like a boot camp? Teflon Don: Another name with a bada-bing! Nothing sticks to this guy. Daddy-o: Retro, as in American Graffiti. Kids, look it up on Netflix. Call him this with a Dean Martin tone to your voice. Fun fact: Father was spelled with a D in place of a TH until as recently as the late s, though the term itself dates back to the time when Old English was spoken.
Dad was first recorded in the s, along with the more colloquial daddy. Pop arose in America in the s. The terms themselves were certainly in spoken use earlier.
Gramps : An abbreviation of grandfather or grandpa. Grammakins: This one uses the diminutive suffix — kin s. Seems fitting for your four-foot, big-fluffy-sweater-wearing, Kleenex-stuffed-inside-her-sleeve-cuff grammakins.
