Title: The Dashing Zaddy and His Icy Protégé

What in the world is a Zaddy. I must be out of touch since it's apparently so well known a term it would be used as an official localised name.

Zaddy is modern slang for an older, attractive, fashionable guy with swag.

This is the first time that I’ve seen it, too.

What word is being mixed with daddy? I’m wondering about the derivation. Before your post, I was thinking “Zoom daddy”? “Gen Z daddy”?

The origin of the z- is unclear; it may represent the idea of being "the ultimate daddy" as z is the last letter of the alphabet, or it may have been formed by assibilation of the /d/ phoneme preceding /æ/ in the first syllable noted in Hispanic populations of New York and Miami, the latter being the origin of the girl subject of Ty's song.

Kota is a college student, and an Alpha. Still, he dreads bumping into his neighbor, a super-intimidating hunk with big, black tattoos. He always assumed this mystery man was an Alpha, too, and avoided him like the plague...until, one day, a scent wafts in so powerful it puts even the dull-headed Kota in a daze. It's the scent of Omega pheromones, from next door! He assumes his neighbor's brought an Omega home, but when he tries to leave, what should he find but the source of the pheromones: his hot neighbor! How will he get out of this situation unscathed, and without his neighbor finding out he's a virgin?!

This is by far the stupidest chunk of text I've read this entire week, and there is a lot of competition. I can just feel my brain cells dying every time I re-read it.
