father/daddy distinction

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!
