daddy-o
Hip fifties address
Daddy-o is a casual, friendly form of address, especially between men.
It emerged from jazz culture in the mid-twentieth century and carries a hip, easygoing tone: Hey daddy-o, what's the word?
The term now sounds dated or deliberately retro, often used for comic effect or nostalgic flair.
