"Pa!"
Father. Dad. Generally a nickname for the male parent. Popularized by Laura Ingalls in Little House on the Prairie.
Mentioning the television version of Laura Ingalls demands that I point out that she's one of my favorite characters from television. Not because she was a sweet little independent girl full of gumption and perseverance but because she was a right little selfish asshole. Sure, Nellie Olsen was played as the villain, and rightfully so, for she is not only a jerk as well but also a rich jerk, the worst kind. But Laura was a terror who caused so much trouble usually due to her exceeding desire to sate her own wants and passions. She was my childhood hero.
