Daddy when you're young or trying to be endearing or want something smiley - biggrin

Dad otherwise. Nobody says father except when they're talking to company they don't know very well.

And the same with mother. People say mum, mummy when they're young or...etc. And mam if you're Welsh or called Kat.

töten - to kill
sterben - to die

"ein guter Tag zum Sterben" - a good day to die

Yeah but I'm the captain (notice my name's Kathryn conveniently) therefore you should not want to fight me. I could throw you in the brig!
