Does nobody else find it creepy and weird that some women in the US call their partners Daddy?

I see it in chat shows and films. Is it really that common? And if so, wtf?

Your UK dudes call their girls birds.. isn't that more creepy then?

If you knew what you are talking about it may help.
Bird stems from the old English word of Burde which means young lady.
However I guess you must be American so your understanding of English is limited @SuperScooter

@Sueisright 1. What you state don't change the fact that they call them BIRDS.
2. Your assumption is wrong.
3. My understanding of english is not limited.
Using old english that is not used any more in the languages is not something you can learn to say ppl who know proper english have limited understanding.
Are you saying the word BIRD means not a bird that fly in the sky?
4. Apologize for being rude, for insulting my intelligens when it's most likely above yours, or don't reply more.
Or wait.. .I guess your intelligence most be... limited? As you did this mistake above..

@SuperScooter I guess your ignorance is your sad excuse

@Sueisright what is ignorant? Argue for that, or you'll look like a fool, sorry.
I am not ignorant and it's very rude and stupid to calls some one something like that, based on a flawed statement.
you're wrong from the start so please.. don't project your ignorance onto me any more.
What I typed was a joke, btw... not something that should be read as accurate facts about a word.
You also missed that part.
So 2 of your statements are now ignorant, and you're calling me so instead, but I have only made smart statements. Stop this now.

As said your ignorance shows clearly @SuperScooter

@Sueisright Any one can say that after a message. If you can't state why, you're the ignorant person and all people with an intelligence above 90 will understand this.
I am sorry you don't understand this.

I am not an ignorant person, so stop calling me that just 'cause I point out the OBVIOUS mistakes in your messages when you type just to be rude.

You're the ignorant person in this context.
Don't tell me something like that again without arguing for WHY!

@SuperScooter "Bird" comes from "virda" which comes from virga which is the Latin word for young maiden. We get "virgin" from it. (If you have taken Spanish, you know how the b and v can be interchangeable in terms of their sounds, and this occurred a lot in derivations from Latin.)

Edit: I should give a nod to @Sueisright and point out a step I forgot, the word burde.
