What do you call your dad?

when he was alive in his later years i did call him pops

Pep pep

We call each other "Dude" 70% of the time, Dad/my name the rest of the time. I do like to refer to him as "Old Man".

Dad works just fine for me. Although I mostly just call him Old Man to tease him and because he knows I'm not crazy about my middle name (Phillip) he sometimes calls me Phil to also mess with me.

I call every one by their fist name.

I call my dad Abu which is another form of saying dad in Arabic

I use to call him Dad/Daddy. That is until he took his life with alcohol poisoning a good 5 years ago. Miss you Dad!

Same, although, the way I say it is more like "Eeeeeeeeeh!"

This is hilarious, but I have a friend whose mom does something similar. Despite my friend, his dad (her husband), and their dog all not being named Jack, she will call any of them Jack, and even switch between Jack and their real names interchangeably in the same conversation.

I call my dad dad

I'm from the backwoods of the southeastern US, and when I was growing up, the closest thing in the poll to what I called him (and what my sister still calls him) would be "Daddy". But in the local accent, it comes out sounding like "Dead-y". I stopped calling him that and switched to just "Dad" at some point in my tweens, around when I started to lose my accent. Likely due to rabid media consumption, I guess, it wasn't a deliberate thing. It just happened.

@pushtoclose: there's my little step-pepper

So I like to call my dad a few things:

Farger/Faja (Austin Powers 3)

Dad-dad-daddio (Back to the Future)

Popperoni (that one is mine)

But most commonly dad or pops. He's a good dad!

Other. I don't call my parents anything, it's weird. I haven't since I was a kid. I'll just walk up to wherever they are and start talking rather than call out their name or anything like that. I do the same with friends a lot of the time, I don't really use people's names at all. It makes speaking Japanese kind of a challenge because you have to use someone's name to address them at all, heh

Dad, Big Guy, and Boss.

but never big boss.

"Papa" when I'm talking to him. "Dad" when I'm talking about him to other people...in English anyway.

"Pappa". Or sometimes "papp" because I'm living in Finland and we have a pretty "exotic" version of Swedish in some parts of the country.

I will sometimes refer to my dad as "father" when in discussion with other people, but I call him Dad, and so does my sister. I can't think of anyone I know that refers to their dad by his first name. That's just weird.
