The kind of guy who deposits his load, does the bare minimum (if anything) and dips. Can typically be found expecting to be treated like the leader of a pride or king of the jungle but constantly complains about having to be there emotionally, mentally, or heaven forbid, financially for the children he helped create. Will have delusions of grandeur surrounding his contributions while blaming everyone but himself for his inability to provide what normal fathers consider par for the course.

In ‘e-girl’ directly translates to any man she/they admires who is older or showing gray. Should be noted that it is not a case of sexual attraction, rather perceiving one as an ideal father figure

The distinction where the word "father" is primarily used in textbooks while "Daddy" in movies. This distinction has first existed in the 2025 Indonesian movie "Panggil Aku Ayah" (meaning "Call Me Father"), which is an adaptation of the 2020 Korean movie "Pawn".
In the classroom, we learned about the father/daddy distinction, and it was hilarious to see how the same character was referred to differently in the movie!
