Probably my favorite subject surrounding Father's Day are the multiple alternative
names that have been created for Father.
Dad, Daddy, Pops, and Papa are the more commonly associated names with Father but the list of alternative names is endless. Among my favorite are:
1. Sugar Daddy-you don't even have to have children to be this type of Dad!
2. Faja- Austin Powers, Goldmember, infamous way of describing the father
3. Mr. Mom- Because you can't just be a Dad that takes his kids to the park and stays home?!
I personally refer to my Dad as Big D, because too many people answer to Dad and Just D wasn't fitting for my Dad's large personality, so Big D was born!
