Ah the internet, how do I love thee? I would count the ways but it would take too long, if I'm honest, so I'll focus on just one of its countless positive qualities. When it comes to slang, the internet is the place to go to learn all of the newest words out there, find out what they mean, and figure out how the heck to use them without looking like a total idiot. One of the latest words to catch my eye that I wasn't sure I could use IRL: Zaddy.

But what is the meaning of zaddy?

To me, as a child of the late 1990s and early aughts, the word just conjured up images of men in zoot suits during that blessedly short-lived period of time in the early 2000s when swing dance music made a brief and hellacious comeback. But if you have seen the word zaddy before, you probably already know that even if you're wearing the slickest fedora ever seen, that doesn't guarantee that you're zaddy material. According to Urban Dictionary, a zaddy is "A fine, handsome and sexy a-- intelligent man that makes you smile and drip every time you see him." In a relationship, a zaddy is someone who "knows how to handle business in and out of the bedroom." I first spotted the word on Instagram in the comments on some pretty hot posts. The pics featured men who weren't just good-looking, but men who were incredibly stylish. The commenters would all remark on different things about them, but the bottom line was this: if you were a hot man who also has killer sartorial know-how, you're a zaddy. As many internet slang terms do, zaddy became so widely used that even the Merriam-Webster dictionary took note of it, calling it a "word to watch" and making a valiant attempt at defining it as an attractive and fashionable person. The word "zaddy" itself is actually a phonetically created fusion of the words "swag" and "daddy." The "sw" of swag turns into a "zzz" sound. Pop that in front of the "addy" from daddy, and a brand new word to describe that total slice of hotness in your grocery store who is always wearing a pocket square is born, my friends.

What is the difference between zaddy, daddy, and sugar daddy?

As Merriam-Webster hilariously explains, while a daddy is typically an attractive older man, neither age nor parental status has any influence on whether someone is a zaddy. Instead, the zaddy label comes down to fashion sense and that certain swag that you can almost feel as he walks by.

What is a female zaddy?

The term zaddy is gender-neutral. So while it might be tempting to call a female zaddy a cougar, MILF, or sugar mama, like the terms zaddy, daddy, and sugar daddy, they're not always interchangeable. So the next time you come across that woman who's just oozing sex appeal, don't hesitate to call her zaddy.

Where did the word Zaddy come from?

Celebs have been using this word for a while now, particularly celebs like Zayn Malik, who some claim actually invented the term. He did not. His name just happens to start with Z and also he has used the word himself in his various social media captioning endeavors. (My name is Becca and I say the word "because." That does not mean that I invented that word. That is not how word invention works.) If we want to get real Oxford English Dictionary with this noise, "Zaddy" is the title of a Ty Dolla $ign song from 2016, and that's when the word really blew up in the cultural zeitgeist. It's generally believed that "Zaddy" is actually AAVE (African-American Vernacular English) — you know, like other slang words people love to use like "lit" "shade" and "bae." So you want to try and use it yourself out there and not worry that the teens are going to brutalize you for your incorrect usage? I feel you (we'll cover that later).
