Help with slang
On another forum, a poster referred to Joseph Smith as a "Mac" Daddy. What the heck is that supposed to mean? I suspect it was meant as an insult, but what was the insult?

Urban Dictionary is Your friend.
No insult. A proper description.
Joe got forty chicks.mac daddy
The pimp-meister, the king of the streetwalkers, possessor of the blingest of bling-bling. The mac daddy is the man who means everything (and the only man who really means anything) to his ladies of the night.
"Mac Daddy" or Mack Daddy, is a term used to describe a man with an unusual power over women, and is derived from the French and later Louisiana Creole patois term "maqereau", which means "pimp". Adding "daddy" makes it mean "top pimp". The '70's black-exploitation movie "The Mack", a dramatization of the life of a street pimp, furthered the popularity of the term in urban America. This use of "mac" is quite different from the Scottish/Gaelic term "mac" (son of) used to address an unknown man.
"Freddy got five chicks on the south side alone… he 'da mac daddy!"
