If a 31 year old would call me a "daddy" I wouldn't directly think of "father".

My baby daddies = my children's fathers

"I have multiple baby daddies" = "My children are by different fathers"

Ah, see what you mean. Yeah, the term is never used like a nick or pet name, it's a state, like Dead or Pregnant. "He's my baby daddy" isn't a term of endearment, it's literally "To [this] baby, [he] is daddy"

In Newcastle we call cats pussies without a single crease in our faces, you're just gooner brained, words do mean other things in the offline world...
