It comes from norwegian and it means daddy.

Thank you! I can't believe someone finally responded to this and that there was actually an answer.

absolutely and totally wrong. this must be corrected even tough this post is 3 years old (heheheh)

That word does not exist in norwegian. unless they somehow managed to get a word from some odd bizarronorway city with a very strange dialect.

"pappa" is the word for daddy "far" is for father. "fatter" is a slang version of father or possibly the german word still hanging around from old times.

The closest i get to a norwegian word is "bamse" wich is what we call our teddybears and sometimes on regualr bears.

Proparbly very very bad research job on screenwriters behalf.

oh and I'm norwegian btw.
