Who's your daddy?" is a slang expression that takes the form of a rhetorical question. Use of the phrase implies a boastful claim of physical or sexual dominance over the intended listener. Comedians suggest that the phrase is frequently spoken by men in a Freudian outburst during sexual intercourse.


[edit] Origins
The phrase itself stands out as a noteworthy lyric from the 1968 song Time of the Season by The Zombies: "What's your name? Who's your daddy? Is he rich like me?"

Widespread provocative use of the phrase began as early as the late 1980's, [1] largely due to its frequent use in sexually suggestive skits broadcast by a popular syndicated radio shock jock known as "The Greaseman".

A particular catalyst for widespread use of the phrase was the 1990 film Kindergarten Cop [1]. In the film, the line "Who is my daddy?" [2] was spoken by actor (and modern masculine archetype) Arnold Schwarzenegger. The clip was promptly audio sampled by The Greaseman, the Jerky Boys, and others, for use in humorous, typically homoerotic radio skits. The expression was further popularized in a well known 1991 comedy routine by Dennis Miller; additionally, then-host Craig Kilborn used the phrase "Who's your daddy -- is he rich like me?" on an early episode of The Daily Show.

In the 2004 American League Championship Series it was used as a mocking chant by New York Yankees fans against Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martinez (prompted by his previous statement, "I... call the Yankees my daddy" [3]). It was so popular that T-shirts were made referencing it. The Red Sox went on to win the series 4-3 after being down 3 games to 0, as many Red Sox fans began using the chant against Yankees fans, spawning retaliatory T-shirts of their own.

It came from a movie but I don't remember its name. "It means that whoever your daddy is, you should go back to him or else I'll give you a hell of a time".
