Maybe the Americans can help me out here. When would you use the expression “who’s your daddy”? I gather from the context of dialogues in which I’ve heard it used that it means something like “Who’s the boss?”
Which of these situations are suitable for a “who’s your daddy?”?
a. Your sports team is kicking the opposition team’s bottom. You shout “Who’s your daddy?” at the losing team.
b. You have your girlfriend over your knee and are spanking her.
c. You are at a pub, find Cold Front, and put him in a head lock.
d. You are giving Tomas’ doll a good rogering.
e. other
If we have to explain it to you, you wouldn’t understand. It would be easier to explain cricket, not that I understand that. I would say e. other, as all your other answers would be inappropriate or dangerous. You can only learn how to say it properly with the right inflection by watching a lot of American porn or hanging around a lot of Americans. This is what I gather from hearing Jeremy(Englishman) the motorcycle guy who can use this phrase and “God dammit” properly. He gets the god dammit wrong(not the right tone or drawl) though, I’m still working on his Meiyu.
God dammit ain’t just an American phrase, it’s used in all English-speaking country. So I doubt that your limey buddy is saying it wrong.
Just say ‘who’s your daddy’ whenever you feel that you have the upper-hand and are ‘winning’.

When the love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try
With pleasured hands
To take you and the sun to
Promised lands
To show you every one
It’s the time of the season for loving
What’s your name?
(What’s your name?)
Who’s your daddy?
(Who’s your daddy? He rich?)
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken
(Has he taken)
Any time
(Any time to show)
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what?
I really want to know
It’s the time of the season for loving
What’s your name?
(What’s your name?)
Who’s your daddy?
(Who’s your daddy? He rich?)
Is he rich like me?
Has he taken

All of the above… of course with slightly different inflection as mentioned. I mean you don’t talk to your gf same as a rival team right?
but the same meaning, basically: who’s the boss here. who’s in charge. who’s the man.
it’s kinda like in answer c: making him say uncle? why? because he acknowledges you’re big guy, he’s small fry.
Miaka: I’ll be your daddy, assuming answer b is correct.
Quest: You’re right. The exact circumstances are very important. Also, for instance, are you making the gf count them out loud and say “Thank you master, please may I have another”?
What a wonderful topic! Well done John the Wookie.
Apparently there was a Star Wars convention somwhere around the time of Attack of the Clones, and two of the special guests were Temuera Morrison who plays Jango Fet in that movie, and the guy who played Bobba Fett (or wore the suit at least) in the earlier movies. They had some sort of staged fight, and while Tem had the upper hand he improved a bit with “Who’s your Daddy?” “Who’s Your Daddy?”.
This would seem like an appropriate time to use the phrase.
… a friend caught something on TV once: “Ya want a piece of me?” :?
