Just curious, is daty a term that's used mainly among hobbyists, or is it also now common slang among the mainstream? I don't think I've ever heard it being used anywhere before I started reading TER message boards.

I've only heard it here as well. Then again, I tend to repeat words I like!

I would say the phrase "dining at the Y" is mainstream, but the acronym DATY may be a slightly unique to the hobby community.

My .02 cents

I though "dining at the Y" was what you do when you have a picnic with the family at the YMCA?

Or in Orange County Ca if you are eating while driving your car through the merge of Interstate 5 and the 405.  (AKA dining at the El Torro "Y.")

I've almost ate it at that Y a few times.

My ex used it hen I was 20. It's been around for a long time.

this Q was asked on this very board within the last 2 weeks.

... Don't believe I've ever seen the term 'DATO' anywhere but on hobby-related sites so I would imagine DATY is the same.

Hmmm, well the guy my mother in law is marrying this weekend has heard the term. I mentioned when we were on a long drive in Cabo and talking about our insignificant others.

You were talking about sex with the daughter, and he was talking about sex with the mother?

That's disgusting.  How could you not give us ALL the details?!?!
