Urban Dictionary: mac daddy A macdaddy is a beautiful girl who is perfect in every way. Just the presence of a macdaddy can make someone's day 100 times better. They're also lowkey a comedian. Jul 15, 2010 What does the domain name mean? If you look it up, a mac daddy is basically an urban slang term for a pimp or a person with power over women. That isn’t me at all. The only kind of “kick’n it” I do is the laundry basket down the hallway.
What does MacGyver mean?
MacGyver is a verb meaning 'to make, form, or repair (something) with what is conveniently on hand.'
Where did MacGyver come from?
MacGyver (pronounced muh-GHYE-ver) is the name of an action-packed television show that ran from 1985 to 1992. It was subsequently syndicated for a time and even adapted into a movie, followed by a television series reboot in 2016. The eponymous protagonist, whose first name is Angus, is a secret agent (played by mullet-haired American actor Richard Dean Anderson in the original version) who uses his ingenuity and encyclopedic knowledge of science to get himself out of predicaments and to defeat the 'bad guys.' Episode after episode, MacGyver uses whatever items are available to him—often simple ones, such as a paperclip, chewing gum, or a rubber band—to improvise a way to escape a sticky situation or to make a device to help him complete his mission. He always has his Swiss Army knife and some duct tape on hand, too—just in case.
How is MacGyver used?
Regular viewers of the show were drawn to MacGyver's ingenious thinking and improvised methods and contraptions. Eventually, people began associating his name with making quick fixes or finding innovative solutions to immediate problems. Early evidence of the verb MacGyver goes back to the 1990s, but it was likely used colloquially in the late 1980s.
To fix something without benefit of tools or a manual is called 'to MacGyver a solution,' after the television show in which Richard Dean Anderson disarmed nuclear bombs with paper clips.

Prosthetic specialist Kevin Carroll travels the country tackling the toughest human amputation cases, so it was only natural that he was also drawn to Winter—the only known dolphin to survive the loss of her powerful tail flukes. 'My heart went out to her, and I was thinking I could probably put a tail on her,' said Carroll…. [A]fter months of experimenting, Carroll and a unique team of experts are well on their way to, as one of them puts it, 'MacGyvering' a tail for Winter.

The star of CBS's action reboot MacGyver has a mother who's a chemist and a dad who's in the U.S. army, so playing a government operative who uses unconventional—and sometimes unbelievable—methods to save lives comes naturally. 'We used to call my dad MacGyver because he would hijack all my class projects and do them for me, so it's kind of crazy that I got the part in the show,' says [Lucas] Till. Based on the like-named series starring Richard Dean Anderson, which aired from 1985 to 1992, MacGyver builds on the franchise so embedded in pop culture that the name MacGyver has become a catch-all verb. Have a leaky faucet that you fixed using duct tape and silly putty? You just MacGyvered your way out of a flooded bathroom.
— Melissa Hank, The Simcoe Reformer, 27 Sept. 2017
Soon after the show's debut, MacGyver also came to designate any person who has a knack for invention or problem-solving using limited resources.
Early-day MacGyvers in the Middle East, India and China were making crude fireworks and bombs around the year 1130.
— Brenda Herrmann, The Chicago Tribune, 29 June 1993
Another related word is MacGyverism, which refers to MacGyver's improvised techniques and inventions. The word was likely coined by someone affiliated with the production of the original version of the show.
Also, [Stephen] Downing enjoys the TV series he is producing, partially because it is less violent than the average hero-villain show. MacGyver applies scientific techniques to ordinary items to escape impending doom for himself and others. He relies on his ingenuity and knowledge, rather than violence, to complete dangerous missions. … [Downing] calls the use of science techniques 'MacGyverisms.'
— David R. Francis, The Christian Science Monitor, 24 Dec. 1987
The -ism noun suffix is used to form verbs that end in -ize, and usage evidence can be found online of MacGyverize in reference to making something using a method similar to MacGyver's—for example, someone might MacGyverize an antenna from a coat hanger and foil. MacGyverize is inventive but apparently not compelling since it is infrequently used.

FOR all of you out there who approach Christmas with a confusing mixture of anticipation and dread, be thankful for one thing — you’re not spending the silly season in Tiger Woods’ house.
Christmas for many people means pretending to like presents your mum inexplicably thought you’d like, trying to beat your cousin to be the one who takes home the leftover ham and going to church for the first time since December 25 the previous year.
Perhaps your family has some weird Christmas traditions that make you cringe at the very thought of them. Maybe the little ones put on a show full of singing and dancing for the oldies — or some overly competitive games of Christmas-themed trivia take place.
But again, whatever these traditions may be, still be thankful. We’re pretty sure they’d still be less weird, less confronting and less likely to emotionally scar you for life than being in the Woods household.
How do we know? Because the golfer was kind enough to share his Christmas tradition with the internet — that is, the world. Brace yourself.
If you had some less than positive views on him after all that’s gone on in his personal life, your jaw is likely to inch ever closer to the floor.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we give you Tiger Woods, or as he likes to call himself, Mac Daddy Santa.
For those of you who don’t know what a Mac Daddy is, you can find a definition for it on Urban Dictionary: “The pimp-meister, the king of the streetwalkers, possessor of the blingest of bling-bling.”
In English, we think that means a Mac Daddy is a cool cat with more swagger than Conor McGregor, and probably a bigger ego too.
Why Woods would rock a cap, sunglasses and bleached goatee — while shirtless, mind you — is a question we’re not sure we want the answer to. He’s got two kids — a son and a daughter — and you’ve almost got to fear for them if that’s a sight they’re exposed to come late December every year.
Unsurprisingly, the internet wasted no time in roasting the world No. 652. Here are some of the best responses.

Tiger Woods' kids have been subjected to Mac Daddy Santa their whole lives. Does that qualify as abuse?

The narrative is an important aspect of this series and each of your choices over the course of the game affects the rest of your experience in an open-ended story-mode that requires strategic decisions on the battlefield but also outside.The 2-D graphics call to mind the old-school style of Dragon’s Lair with beautifully animated battlefields and story animations. The campaign mode is currently 2 games deep, with a third episode in development, and since decisions made in the first game carry over to the second, I recommend you start with part one and play through the second.
