A common meme of the mid-2010s, most popular in the UK, from the Scottish dialect of "your dad", which involves someone making statements on a news story through the eyes of a stereotypically right-wing, conservative, reactionary middle aged British man, increasingly baffled and angry at the modern world. Particular targets for this baffled anger are political correctness and things young people of today like.
