Maybe I’ve been listening to the Greaseman too long, but why is this mantra chanted by DJs during a radio skit to get the image of a gratifying carnal act into our minds? The absolute last person on my _People I Want to Think of During Sex_ list is my daddy. Has anybody here ever thought of trying to arouse their partner by getting them to think of their fathers during sex? ---

I thought it was something you said to someone while you were picking on, or beating up someone, kinda like “Say uncle!”. Didn’t the Budwiser frogs say “Who’s your daddy?” to the lizard as they wacked him with their toungues? ---

Yuck I agree. Morbid curiosity maybe, but it always goes with the squeeking bedsprings & oink-oink sounds in various comedy sound bites. ---

It could also be just some nonsense phrase which fits the rhythm. * * * “Age is mind over matter; if you don’t mind, it don’t matter.” -Leroy “Satchel” Paige ---

If you are male and call your sweetie ‘baby’, I guess you’d expect her to call you her daddy… I’m not sure if I even want to consider the ‘mommy’ angle… ---

It’s just your average dominance play…“who’s in charge here? Who’s the big man? Who’s your daddy? etc etc” Pretty much the standard for insecure but loud guys. (not that are that many of those…). ---

Hmm… I know two girls who live in a (submissive) relationship with the same man. One of them calls him “owner” the other calls him “daddy”… works for them, I guess. * * * – “it’s all real” “I KNEW IT!!!” O p a l C a t [www.opalcat.com](http://www.opalcat.com) ---

Hey wait a minute Opal, how do you know my women? I’ve told them hundreds of times they only contact they were to have with outsiders was to be supervised, and approved by me in advance. Next thing you know they’ll be slipping out of their iron collars and going across the street on their own… ---

Wait a second, the Greaseman is still on the air here in DC? I thought they canned his ass after the Lauryn Hill debacle. [back on topic] I think it’s pretty much as Nu Vo Da Da describes it - hence such terms as ‘sugar daddy’ or ‘my main mama’ and such like. I’ve heard such terms used in old jazz and blues songs so it probably stretches back aways. besides, Mrs. Olentzero likes it… 🙂 * * * Cave Diem! Carpe Canem!
