papas
Daddies, less formally
Papas is the plural of papa, an informal word for father.
In Spanish-speaking contexts, papas also means potatoes: papas fritas are fried potatoes or french fries.
The word appears in American English mainly in these two uses—either as an affectionate term for fathers or in Mexican and Latin American food contexts.
