DAD UP
(v.) to eat other people's
leftovers after having your own meal, by embodying the spirit of a paternal figure and eating more food than you normally would to avoid wasting said food.This behavior is most often displayed by a dad at a restaurant when other family members have food left on their plate, but also extends to the average weeknight
dinner table, snacks, ingredients for a meal, or beverages. This behavior is not solely limited to dads either, and may be exhibited by any person regardless of gender,
orientation, or current number of children.

To fulfill your responsibilities as a father, despite your insecurities or level of
parenting experience.
Derived from the phrase “
man up” meaning
be strong, take control of the situation, without complaint or regret.
Example:
Bob:
Margie is going out of town this week and I’ll have the kids
all by myself. I don’t know what I’m going to do.
Tom: Come on Bob, dad up. You know
you can do it.
