agree  Karen Montaldi: I would have to agree that "tio papai" would make more sense in this context.

  -> Thank you, Karen! I also think so. He was her uncle before he became her "daddy", so I think it's convenient to place "tio" before "papai".

agree  Otavio Banffy: Se você está procurando por um termo novo para usar, Daniela, esse aqui parece muito adequado! Você conhece "Uncle Grandpa"? É de um desenho, foi traduzido como Titio-Avô. Aqui, Tio Papai parece um bom equivalente pro seu caso!

Explanation:
encontrei a seguinte explicação:
"Someone becomes your uncle dad when your dad has sex with his sister (your aunt), producing you in the process. You don't even know if you should call him dad or uncle, so you call him UNCLE DAD."

No link abaixo, inúmeros memes no google sobre isso.

outra explicação do Urban Dictionary:
"An Uncle Dad is an ill-educated, likely inbred individual most likely of Southern heritage. They require long, detailed explanations to understand even the simplest of concepts. They are painfully stupid and thick."

neutral  Jane Rezende: Também conhecido como "Duncle". Mas será que é nesse sentido mesmo??? Poderia até ser, mas não conheço a série ou em que contexto está inserido... Vou responder aqui mesmo: poderia fazer sentido sim, mas teria ver o diálogo / contexto... abs
4 mins
  -> Pesquisei a série e achei o seguinte resumo: "A look at the life and crimes of five women who work at a Florida nail salon." Imaginei mulheres conversando no salão sobre casos de família, com segredos incestuosos ou coisa do tipo. Faz sentido?
