What Does DADDY Mean in a Text?

The Quick Answer

DADDY means "Dominant Male" and "Male Partner."

Dominant Male

In general chat between young men and teenage boys (both online and offline), DADDY is often used in a humorous way as a statement that one person is superior to another. For example:
  • Tony: You beat me again!
  • Jon: You know I'm the DADDY!

Male Partner

In the context of dating and sex, DADDY is a term of endearment used by both men and women to refer to or address a male partner. In general, a DADDY does not have to be older than the other partner in the relationship. However, in a gay relationship, a DADDY may be significantly older (and is probably significantly richer).
  • Barry: Who do you love more than anyone else in the world?
  • Lee: You know you're my DADDY.
