A calculated bet or series of bets with price determination and risk/reward fully contingent upon Event X occurring. It successfully occurs, but all positions remain in the red.
It is commonly witnessed when listening to a friend's dad talking about his investment rationale for making certain risky trades. His reasoning is always foolproof but the results are inevitably unfavorable.

A preventable Dad Trade in the making
Industry professional: Mr. Chen, I strongly urge you to hedge against your positions in Brazilian ethanol companies with some short currency futures and some put options on the underlying stock.
Mr. Chen: Don't presume to teach me about equities sonny; I have more years of investment experience than you have in years lived. If Obama gets elected, he will subsidize corn, and ethanol production profitability will skyrocket.

Mah Dad: "Yeah Mah Son! They shouldn't have messed with the most athletic in the group!"

Get the Grayden’s Dadmug. Parent whose main interaction with their child or children occurs during one season of the year, usually their child's summer vacation from school. Seasonal dads have been known to take great offense when their motives or parenting skills are called into question.
We asked our friend to get a dna test on his kid who bears no resemblence. He got pissed off and lectured us and told us we don't know what its like to have a family. It's probably because he's a seasonal dad and doesn't see his kid too often.

Get the seasonal dadmug. A dump so strong that it creates a physical barrier at the edge of the realm in which it was created.
Fobert: Yo I've gotta get in and use the bathroom
BZ: Dude, I just took a dad dump. It's gonna be at least an hour until anyone can get in there.

Get the dad-hatermug. Dad-gummit I just cleaned that damn shirt!
Dad-gummit this should not be such a trivial meaning! It's original as the idea of religion. It simply means "I sure as hell did not want "this" immediate outcome." Shit! I mean, dad-gummit!
Dad-gummit!
